Carl Drummond

 

Carl “Tink” Drummond, 89, passed away Sept. 11, 2020, on Greasy Ridge in Ohio while riding his four-wheeler (pronounced at St. Mary’s).

 

Tink was born in 1930 in a house on Greasy Ridge Road, the son of Homer and Ollie Hunt Drummond.

 

He retired to build a home on the same property where he and his wife, Phyllis, enjoyed the woods, deer, birds, and gardening.

 

Tink was a sergeant in the U.S. Marines during the Korean War.

 

He worked at various places as a master electrician, including Ashland Allied Chemical, General Electric in Florida and Tennessee, and Walt Disney World in Orlando.

 

Tink is survived by his wife of 59 years, Phyllis Hinkle Drummond, with whom he farmed in Aid, before the family moved to Florida in 1971. He is also survived by his son, David Drummond and daughter-in-law Susan Jenkins Drummond, of Marysville; daughter, Anita Drummond and son-in-law Robert Wojie, of Alexandria, Virginia; grandchildren, Jaye and Aimee Drummond and Alexander “Xan” Drummond Wojie; and great grandchildren Gaige, Nathan and Kaitlyn Patrick and Joshua D. Drummond (children of Aimee) and Matthew and Nicholas Drummond (children of Jaye). He is also survived by many extended family, his special friends Joe and Jackie; and his close niece, Sis Dunfee.

 

He was preceded in death by all of his siblings; his beloved grandson, Joshua T. Drummond (son of David); and adored great-granddaughter, Lauren Drummond (daughter of Jaye). He was also preceded in death by his favorite dog, Chopper, who he shared with his granddaughter, Aimee.

 

Due to COVID-19, no services will be held to protect mourners and the greater community.
