What are the Plumettes doing when they’re not at Plum? Let’s find out!
Dané Bissell
When off of her yoga mat, Dané will head for hiking trails and mountains for outdoor adventure. Dané loves interior design, volunteering and keeping up with friends across the country.
Joan Basel
Joan, often called Joanie by friends and family, has lived on Bainbridge for 40 years. She loves spending time with her two daughters, five grandchildren and four grand dogs! Her free time is spent walking, golfing, knitting, gardening in her courtyard, and reading.
Katherine Hanson
Katherine enjoys exploring the trails of Bainbridge with her Sheltie, Sochi, and spending time in her garden. When not outside, she loves to try new recipes and cook for friends.
Kathy Connelly
Kathy keeps pretty busy with knitting—often doing sweater repairs, finishing and consultation for customers, and personal knitting projects as well as an occasional outfit for Plum Mouse. She also plays the viola with the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra and has been a member since 1983.
Leslie Krantz
Leslie is a former actress with a B.A. in Theatre and an M.F.A. in Drama. After pursuing theatre for a dozen years after graduating, she retired from acting to raise her three boys with her husband here on Bainbridge Island. She returned to the work force in 2017, obtaining jobs at Zamboanga (now closed) and then Bainbridge Arts & Crafts. She is thrilled to be a Plumette!
Marci Aguirre
Marci enjoys needlework, reading, music, biking, and walking along any of the Island waterfronts. Every day is spent enjoying life with her husband and cat, Hannah, and all the rest of her family.
Marilyn Wallace
Born and raised in Southern California, Marilyn still has a little bit of that “California girl” in her but fully adopted the Pacific Northwest as her home as of 1983. In her free time, Marilyn enjoys gatherings with family, a vigorous walk (preferably on a trail), a game of Pickleball, a good book, and a tasty cup of tea.
Monika Peterson
Monika loves doing yoga, gardening, and spending time with her grandchildren. She is also the proud owner of a Sheltie, Greta.
Theresa Collier
Theresa loves creating in the kitchen, especially making desserts. She also enjoys spending time playing outside any time of the year.
Toni Schneider
Toni enjoys gardening with her husband, Fred, along with walking and reading. She usually comes home from walks on the beach with stones in her pocket.
And, of course, Plum Mouse!
Plum Mouse is a good sport, always up for tagging along on any of the Plumettes’ adventures. She’s traveled to South America, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, and Mexico—but her heart is home at Plum. Follow Plum Mouse’s adventures on Instagram: #PlumMouse
