Aver Jane Plummer Morehead, age 94, passed peacefully at
home on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, after an extended illness.
Aver was born in Cobb County, Georgia, on August 27, 1926.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ded Lee Morehead and Willie
Mae Braswell Morehead Wooten, by her siblings, Jimmy Wright, Jeff
Morehead, Robert Morehead, Bernice Caldwell, Annie Joe Riddle, by her
stepson, James Plummer, Sr., and her son Arthur James Travis, Jr.
Aver faithfully worked for the R.H. Ledbetter family for over
50 years, where she was affectionately known by family and friends as "Big
A" because of her outspoken yet generous personality. A lifelong expert
in the kitchen, Big A loved to prepare meals for and feed others. She will
be remembered for her great Christmas feasts, her homemade blackberry
jelly, fired okra, collard greens and biscuits among many other southern
specialties.
She leaves behind to mourn her loss but celebrate her life,
siblings, Hester Rosa Lee (Sally) Mays of Atlanta and David Wooten
of Rome; grandchildren, Terrell Travis of Syracuse, New York and
Michelle Travis Robinson of Rome; stepchildren, Frances, Doris, Raymond, and
Moses Plummer; as well as four great-grandchildren, numerous step-
grandchildren, nieces, nephews and all the members of the R.H. Ledbetter
Family whose lives she touched immeasurably.
The family wishes to thank Aver's many caregivers for their
compassion and skilled assistance, especially her friend, Ms. Connie
Miller and Aver's niece, Ms. Molly Freeman of Rome. A special thank you
to Transitions Hospice Care for making her final days comfortable and peaceful.
