Plourde has not only been a devoted and dedicated mother and grandmother, but she also finds time to give of herself to various community organizations. She has been an active member of the Ladies of St. Anne for 55 years and a member of the Fort Kent Columbiettes for 38 years, where she is currently past president.
She is also a member of the Fort Kent Senior Center, served as president from 2008 to 2010, and was recognized as the 2006 Senior Citizen of the year.
