George N. Plummer, age 94, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2025, at the NYS Veterans Home in Batavia. He was born February 18, 1931, in Derby, CT to the late Edmund and Edith (Neal) Plummer. George moved to the Albion area in 1999 and has been a resident of the community ever since.
George was a very accomplished man who had a good sense of humor. He was a US Navy Veteran, serving in the Korean War on the USS Olmstead. He was a part owner/operator of Price-Greenleaf in Delmar, NY, a family owned garden store and nursery business. In retirement George and Irene lived for a time in Cape Cod where he enjoyed deep sea fishing. They eventually moved to acreage in the Adirondacks where George was elected as Town Justice in Clemons, NY., raised Christmas trees for sale and obedience trained dogs for competition. When George had down time, which wasn’t very often as he never slowed down, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, walking and training dogs, continuing long after his move to the Albion area.
In addition to his parents, George was predeceased by his sister, Mary Ellen Schaming and his brother, David Plummer.
George is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 72 years, Irene (Shufelt) Plummer; sons, Bruce (Robin) Plummer and Bradley Plummer; 6 grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren; sister Charlene; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A private graveside service with military honors for George will be held at Transit Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in George’s name may be made to Compassion International Colorado Springs, CO 80997-0004.
George’s arrangements have been entrusted to the Christopher Mitchell Funeral Home in Albion, NY.
