Ernest Clinton Plaugher, “Tootie”, age 77, passed away on Thursday, October 5, 2017 at his home in Front Royal, VA.
He was born on August 25, 1940 in Arlington, VA to the late Emanuel and Effie Elizabeth (Gordon) Plaugher.
Even though he was small in stature, he was bigger than life. I always admired his quiet authority, his funny sense of humor and all the tricks he played on everyone. He would do almost anything for anyone. He was so much to so many. Father, son, brother, grand and great grandfather, friend, mechanic, carpenter, hunting partner…He will be missed.
Predeceased by his parents; loving wife: Edith Louise Plaugher and one brother: Peter Paul Plaugher
Survivors include his loving children: Elaine Lee, Marlene Eskridge and husband William; and Clinton Plaugher and wife Crystal; grandchildren: Katelyn and Matthew Gozzard, Brittanie Lacy and Kevin Varela; Brooke Lacy and Brandon Eskridge; Andrew Seskey and Brie De’Leo, Micheala Eskridge, and Madison Murphy; great grandchildren: Kaydence Eskridge, Kevin Varela and Eliana Varela; one brother: Clyde Plaugher and wife Diane; three sisters: MaryLee Seymour and husband Paul, Alice Rodway and Martha Williams and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, October 8, 2017 from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM at Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, VA where services will take place at 2:00 PM. A reception will follow directly after services at his son Clinton’s Home, 6241 Stonewall Jackson Highway, Front Royal, VA 22630.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
