Patricia Jean Drain Plumlee, age 74, passed away peacefully from a massive stroke on Monday March 6, 2023.  Pat had the stroke on Friday February; 17, 2023 and God gave her family 17 days to be at her side in her residence before her passing.  On her birthday July 15, 2015 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
