October 25, 1927 — October 19, 2012
Jean Plutt, 84, of Haskell, Texas passed away with her family at her side on Friday evening, October 19, 2012 at Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Thursday, October 25, 2012 at St. George Catholic Church in Haskell with Father George Roney officiating.
Margaret Jean Sweeney was born in Hawthorne, California on October 25, 1927 to Frances William and Catherine Bernice (Dickey) Sweeney. She graduated from Hawthorne High School in 1943 and begin working for Pacific Bell Telephone Company in Los Angeles. There she met Albert Plutt and they soon married in Whittier, California at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church on November 20,1949.
Al and Jean began their life in California and in 1963 moved their family to the mountains of Colorado in a small town named Woodland Park. There, they remained for 35 years, raising their 3 children and delighting in many grandchildren. Prior to her final home of Haskell, Jean lived in Mesa, Arizona for 17 years.
She was known for her warm hospitality and wonderful cooking and made sure everyone always felt welcome to visit. Her home was always open and warm and Jean would make sure no one was ever left alone at holiday time.
Her family was raised on fresh vegetables grown in the garden that her and Al planted each spring and she so diligently worked in. Her flower gardens were the envy of the town and there was always a fresh bouquet on the dining room table and she loved sharing bouquets with anyone that needed that little bit of happiness. Jean was a member of St. George Catholic Church.
Jean will be terribly missed by her family and many friends, but those that knew her, know she has made it to her final destination and a place she was not fearful of.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Bernice Sweeney.
She is survived by her husband, Al of Haskell; 2 sons, Steve Plutt and his wife Kim of Lake Geroge, Colorado and Stan Plutt and his wife Carol of Florissant, Colorado; 1 daughter, Meg Plutt Case of Haskell; 8 grandchildren, Haley Smith and her husband Brad of Haskell, Jim Plutt and his wife Louise of Houston, Jennifer Plutt and her partner Christy of Lake George, Colorado, Theresa Smith and her husband T.J. of Woodland Park, Colorado, Daniel Plutt and his finace Keisha Rook of Florissant, Colorado, Doug Case and his special friend Erica Balcao of Mesa, Arizona, David Case and his finace Emily Sontag of Mesa, Arizona, and Lori Hale and her husband Kurt of Goldfield, Colorado; 9 great-grandchildren, Camden and Henry Smith, Kyle, Brycen, and Shaelyn Smith, Karsten Plutt, Addison Plutt, and Cy and Christopher Plutt; her sister, Yvonne Horrigan of Santa Monica, California, a uncle, Bernard Dickey of Pahrump, Nevada; 5 nieces, Catherine, Lisa, Julie, Paula and Kelly; and many cousins, great-nieces and great-nephews.
