Morris Ray Plunkett, 92, of Bossier City, passed away peacefully on December 20,

Morris was born on December 9, 1933, in Epps, Louisiana. He was the son of the 
late Johnnie Prothro and Eunie Maud Plunkett. Morris was known for his steady 
presence, devotion to family, and quiet strength.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 65 years, Betty Joyce Goodman 
Plunkett, whom he married on August 4, 1956.

Their marriage was a testament to endearing love and commitment. He was also 
preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, John, Benny, Dobbin, and Homer 
Plunkett; and his sisterin- law Maureen Plunkett.

Left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Sharon Purvis (Alan) and Amy 
Dickerson; his grandchildren, Amy Skinner (Chris), Drew Dickerson, and Stephanie 
Boyle (Paul); and his great- granddaughters, Ellie, Sadie, Rae, Hallie, Ryan, 
Addie, and Claire, who brought him immense pride and joy.

He is also survived by his cherished sister, Joan Smitherman (Roger); sisters-
in-law, Voncille Plunkett, Becky Plunkett, Laura Plunkett, Audrey McKinley 
(Sonny), and Polly Goodman, along with dozens of nieces and nephews who will 
forever remember his guidance, humor, and love.

Morris will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his legacy lives on 
through the many generations of family who carry his values, stories, and spirit 
forward.
