A long side her older brother, Phillip, they were raised there where she graduated in 1957. After graduating, she spent six months in Omaha where she went to typist school. It was her love of dancing where she found a connection with Robert (Bob) Plummer and on October 5, 1958 they married.

While Robert worked ranches, Barb had a magnificent garden she cherished well past her gardening years and would recall the vegetables she grew with her family in Miles City where their son Alan was born in 1960. They soon moved to Forsyth where she worked at the Safeway and then at the courthouse. There they welcomed daughter Tracy in 1965. In the late 60’s, Robert decided to go into the trucking business with his brothers and lived briefly in Sheridan and then Casper before returning to Sheridan. This is where they welcomed their daughter Launa in 1971.

Barb kept the books for the trucking business and was a housewife. From bookkeeper to newspaper worker to candy shop owner, Barb had many hats. Eventually, they came to settle in Sheridan to make it their forever home where they lived out their lives surrounded by their children and later grandchildren, and Barb was fortunate enough to get to be with her great grand children as well.

Barb was a devoted believer in our Lord and Savior as well as a member of the Trinity Lutheran Congregation close to her home. Barb had a great love for her family as well as the dogs who became her companions after Robert’s passing. Beau was her sweet boy, Missy would bring her smiles and laughs, and later Bentley also known as her littleterror which she affectionately called him. There was a time Barb spent traveling. From Mexico to Hawaii and Alaska, she found adventure including chasing down a former president for a photo op.
