Mack Warner Plunket

Mack Warner Plunket, age 87, of Opelika, Alabama, passed away peacefully at his home on November 2, 2025. Mack was born in Homer, Louisiana, to Joseph and Alma Plunket. He had eight siblings who have all gone on to be with the Lord.

Throughout his life, Mack was known for his love for the Lord and his desire to serve him. That desire led him to return to school later in life and complete his Master of Divinity.  He pastored churches in Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana before retiring from official ministry in Opelika, Alabama, where he continued to be involved in the work of his church.  Mack was proud of his 13 years of service as a school bus driver with the Auburn City Schools.

Mack leaves behind a large family that he loved dearly.  Mack met and married his first love Carol Arceneaux in 1957. They welcomed 5 children over those early years: son Mike Plunket (Lisa deceased) and their son Joseph, and daughter Anna Baldwin (Brian, and children Ali and Kai); son Keith Plunket (deceased) (Shawn) and their two children Laura Lupo (Taylor and their daughter Lilly) and daughter Brooke Ezell (Zach and sons Sebastian and Gideon); daughter Cheryl Ricks (Ricky deceased) and their daughters Kayla Wheeler (JP and children Elliott and Emersyn) and Emily Ricks (sons Kaleb and Jase); daughter Dina Plunket; and daughter Darlene Hargrave (husband Troy). That marriage lasted for 44 years until Carol went to be with the Lord in August 2001.

Mack was fortunate to meet and marry a wonderful woman Terry Williams Plunket with his same passion for the Lord, and they were married in March 2007. “G Mack” was lovingly adopted into that family of 6 children: daughter Debbie Rumfelt (Rob and 10 children and 14 grandchildren); Melinda Weissinger (Ira and two children); Donald Williams (Beth, 4 children and 1 grandchild); Ginelle Weissinger (Lee and 5 children and 3 grandchildren); Jack Williams (Marissa and 4 children); and Stephen Williams.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 5, at 1:00 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Opelika, Alabama. Family and friends are invited to gather in celebration of his life.
