Doyne L. Plummer, age 80, of Cabot passed away Friday, May 27, 2016. He was born in the Oak Grove community to William Porter and Annie Elizabeth (Burkhead) Plummer on Sept. 22, 1935. While Doyne's career achievements are plentiful, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the passion that fueled his life. He loved his wife sacrificially as Christ loved the church and sought to raise his children and influence his grandchildren in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. He loved Christ's church. He served wherever needed, from Christian Education to Deacon to Trustee, always for the benefit of others without thought for self. He lived that others might know Christ, giving his retirement to global missions. With the Southern Baptist Convention and later through ministry at Faith Baptist Church, he shared the Gospel and encouraged Christians from Cabot to Berlin, Brasov, Brazil and Guatemala. Doyne served as Cordinator between Arkansas Southern Baptist and European Baptist Convention. While sorely missed, through family, church, and countless unknown others near and far, his Gospel legacy lives and he still speaks. Doyne proudly served in the Air National Guard from 1953 to 1960. Doyne is survived by his wife of 59 years, Betty; Son, Mark Plummer and wife Phyllis of Austin, Texas; daughter, Anita Plummer of Cabot; three grandchildren, Hayden, Christopher, and Adam Plummer. He continually quoted Proverbs 17:6 to his grandchildren and assured them that they were his crown. He was preceded in death by his parents and step father Sam Jackson; siblings, C.W., Roy, Wilma, Dorothy, Betty, Mildred, Joyce and three other infants. Memorials may be made to the American Diabetes Association, https://donations.diabetes.org.
