Ron

Plumlee

Ronald (Ron) Wayne Plumlee, 64, passed away on December 22, 2022, after a 5 year battle with cancer.

Ron was born on May 6, 1958, in Kimball, Nebraska to Leatrice Joy (Main) and Calvin Vernon Plumlee. He was the middle brother to siblings Martin (Mark) and Greg.

Ron was raised and attended school at Tuttle, where he rode his motorcycle, a Gold Honda 100, every day to school. He enjoyed FFA and playing trombone in the Tuttle band during his Jr High through High School years.  These early years were when he started tinkering with anything mechanical and would take things apart just to figure out how it worked. He went to work at the Skelly Station in Tuttle when he was 14 years old and could tinker to his hearts content learning how to work on cars.

Ron married his high school sweetheart, Karen, after dating 2 years. One of their first dates was the Jr/Sr Banquet, where they hit it off and never looked back.

They were blessed with 2 daughters, Cynthia and Kayla, and often hosted church youth parties at their house. One of his favorite things was being Gramps to his 3 grandchildren, Braiden, Avery and Hunter.

While he spent most of his life in Tuttle, he lived the last 14 years in Blanchard, Ok. Ron was known for his hard work ethic, and had a sense of pride when a house or building project was complete. He was a jack-of-all-trades and could fix anything. He spent most of his adult career as a home builder, commercial construction superintendent and working the last years of his life at his favorite job as an estimator for K&M Wrecking/Demolition Company.

Ron is survived by his wife of 44 years, Karen; his daughter Cynthia and husband, Josh Rollins; daughter Kayla Mills and Jake Stinson; brother, Mark Plumlee and wife Gina; brother, Greg Plumlee and wife Beth; grandchildren, Braiden, Avery, and Hunter Rollins; and many nieces and nephews.

Ron is preceded in death by his parents, Vernon and Joy Plumlee.

A memorial service is scheduled for 2:00 PM, Thursday, December 29, 2022 at the Blanchard First Baptist Church.  Arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home, Blanchard, Oklahoma. Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhoufh.com.
