Billy Wayne Plumlee

Billy "Bill" Wayne Plumlee, a kindhearted, generous, and sometimes stubborn man who loved deeply and lived life on his own terms, passed away peacefully at his home in Saratoga, Texas, on November 6, 2026. He was born on April 9, 1954, in Weatherford, Texas, to Billy Joe Plumlee and Wanda Jane Yandell Plumlee.

Bill was a hardworking man who took pride in providing for his family and making his own way in life. He spent his early years growing up on dairy farms, where he learned the value of hard work and dedication. He later proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant. Throughout his working years, Bill spent many years in management with Conoco and also fulfilled his passion for the open road as the proud owner and operator of his own trucking company, Plumlee Trucking. Driving trucks was more than just a job to Bill; it was something he truly enjoyed.

As much as Bill loved his work, his family was always closest to his heart. He was a good father and an adoring grandfather who thought the world of his daughter, Sabrina, and his granddaughter, Olivia. They were his pride and joy, and he loved them more than words could ever express. He cherished his family and leaves behind many memories that will be treasured for generations.

When he wasn't working, Bill enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, especially gardening and fishing. Whether tending to his garden or spending time with a fishing pole in hand, he found happiness in the things he loved. He was generous with what he had, kind to those around him, and never afraid to speak his mind. He could certainly be stubborn at times, but that was part of what made Bill who he was. He had a strong spirit, a big heart, and a personality that those who knew him will never forget.

Bill is survived by his beloved daughter, Sabrina Plumlee, and granddaughter, Olivia Plumlee. He is also survived by his brothers, Gerald Plumlee and wife, Sandi; Johnny Plumlee and wife, Wanda; and Josh Plumlee and wife, Mycall; his sisters, Patty Burkhart and Lawanda Schugart and husband, Kyle; along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Billy Joe Plumlee and Wanda Jane Yandell Plumlee, and his son, Steven Plumlee.

A memorial service celebrating Bill's life will be held at New Life Assembly of God on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Family and friends are invited to come together to remember, honor, and celebrate the life of a man who meant so much to so many.

Bill leaves behind a legacy of hard work, love, generosity, and memories that will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be remembered for his strong will, his generous heart, his love of family, and the many ways he touched the lives of those around him. Though he will be deeply missed, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain forever.
