| ALL SOULS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH,
STONY BROOK, NEW YORK
Ann Hill Plummer
The Rev. Ann Hills Plummer, Vicar of All Souls' Episcopal
Church in Stony Brook, New York, and one of the first women
to be ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese
of Long Island, died July 17, 2009, at Good Shepherd Hospice
in Port Jefferson.
Mother Plummer, the daughter of George S. Hills and Alice
Shaw Hills, was born in New Rochelle, New York, on November
28, 1935. She attended Thornton Donovan Primary School and
Rye Country Day School and graduated from Vassar College in
1957 and Mercer Theological Seminary in 1990. In the period
after graduation from Vassar, she was employed by the Ladies
Home Journal and the National Council of Churches.
She was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church in 1991.
Soon after her ordination she received special training in
being an interim priest, to be well prepared for stays of
only 18 to 24 months at each church. After serving as Associate
Rector at St. Stephen's Church in Port Washington and Christ
Church in Oyster Bay, Mother Plummer became Interim Rector
at St. Patrick's Church in Deer Park, St. Ann's Church in
Bridgehampton, and the Church of St. Jude in Wantagh. She
was called to be Vicar of All Souls' Church in Stony Brook
in 2004, where she served until her death.
She is survived by her husband W. Hubert Plummer, her son
and daughter-in-law Hubert G. Plummer and Dr. Maria Plummer
of Garden City, her daughter Carol A. Plummer of Port Washington,
her two grandchildren Gwendolyn M. Plummer and Ian H. Plummer
of Garden City, and her sister Joan Faulkner of Larchmont.
She was predeceased by her daughter Sarah Hills Plummer.
A grateful parish family mourns her loss but celebrates her
life in Christ.
