EXPRESSING DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF HELEN M. PLUMMER

     Introduced By: Representative Maria E.Cimini

     Date Introduced: May 07, 2014

     Referred To: House read and passed

     WHEREAS, Young people, away from home for perhaps the first extended length of

time in their lives, were always given a little piece of hope and encouragement from Helen M.

Plummer, a most beloved cashier at the Kingston Emporium on the University of Rhode Island's

campus, and so it is with great sadness that this House learned of her passing on April 7, 2014;

and

     WHEREAS, Helen Plummer was better known by her family, friends and many admirers

by her affectionate nickname of "Nonnie." She was even better known to most of the students at

URI for her key phrase, "Have an excellent"; and

     WHEREAS, Whether her "Have an excellent" sentence was finished with day, life, or

time, Nonnie's genuine caring and concern for those who passed through her life and line at the

CVS on campus brought a little cheer and smile to many people's lives; and

     WHEREAS, Helen M. Plummer was born in Grant County, Kentucky, the daughter of

the late Owen and Ruth Skirvan. She had worked as a customer service representative for CVS

for the past twelve years; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Plummer was the beloved mother of Lori Plummer and Mark

Plummer, the devoted grandmother of Amy-Beth Plummer, Cady Butson and her husband, Sean,

and David Lee Butson and his wife, Megan. She was also the very proud great-grandmother of

six great-grandchildren; and

     WHEREAS, In addition to her family and work with CVS, Mrs. Plummer was a member

of the Curtis Corner Baptist Church and was a sponsor for Feed The Children; and

     WHEREAS, There is no doubt that Nonnie, a warm-hearted and gracious lady, left an

indelible mark on the lives of all she knew and loved, and she will be dearly missed; now,

therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and

Providence Plantations hereby extends our deepest sympathy on the passing of a most excellent

person, Helen M. Plummer; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Ms. Lori Plummer and Mr. Mark Plummer.
