Martha Grant Plummer Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Our family gathered in the living room wondering what to write. How could we possibly sum up Nana’s glorious 77 year life story into a single page so everyone knows how much we loved her? Well, here is our best shot. Martha Grant Plummer, finished writing her book titled Life, surrounded by her loved ones, on December 19th, 2020. The first chapter started in October of 1943 in Portland, Maine. She was the daughter of Philip B and Lillian H Grant. Many years were spent hanging out with her older brothers Richard Grant and late brother Hamilton Grant. She graduated from Westbrook High School, where she made many lifelong friendships. Her second chapter was spent raising a rambunctious, fun loving family of four children Karen (James) Zabenko, Kimberly (Brian) Welch, Grant (Sally) Plummer, and Andrew Plummer in Windham. One would say she is a saint for being able to raise these four into the wonderful people they have become. Her working days were spent at AAA and as a librarian at the high school and Town libraries. Many stories have been told of the family travelling in the old VW bus. Many summers were spent swimming in Sebago Lake, watching sunsets, eating coffee ice cream, camping at South Arm, and vacationing on Peak’s Island. The winters were cherished with skiing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling. The third chapter, her favorite, was spent watching her four children raise their families. The bundles of grandchildren include Tyler, Ryan, Dilon, Megan (Mark) Moreau, Nick, Elena, Michael, Grace, Leah, Sadie, Reid, and her great granddaughter Amelia. Her grandchildren made sure to keep her on her toes with graduations, soccer games, swim meets, track meets, marching band performances, basketball games, football games, sleepovers, driving lessons, and wing nights with the boys. In her final short chapter, lung cancer was the antagonist. She made sure to make the most of it by continuing to swim in Sebago Lake, celebrating her granddaughter’s wedding, dreaming of a pontoon boat, eating her fair share of Oreos, and enjoying her time to the fullest. Her memory lives on in her beloved children, grandchildren, and friends who will forever share her story. In lieu of flowers or donations, her family asks that you make memories and smile with your loved ones. A celebration of life will be held in the summer of 2021. “I want to thank you all for loving and supporting me.” Love you, Nana. 12/18/2020
