Rhey Plumley Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Rhey Plumley (South Burlington, Vermont), who passed away on December 10, 2024 at the age of 76. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Rhey may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
He is survived by: his siblings, Bruce, Alison and Bob; and his significant other Sheila Reid.
In retirement, Rhey and Sheila continued to fish and travel until Covid curtailed these adventures, as it did for many.
