| 1401 | Deaths Bassett ? March 19, at Sunville House, Limerick, George William Bassett, J.P., aged 82 years. Funeral to St. Munchin?s Church on Tuesday morning at 10 o?clock. Limerick Chronicle March 20, 1900 Death Of Mr. George W. Bassett, J.P. We regret to announce the death of an old and respected citizen, Mr. George William Bassett, J.P, who passed away at his residence, Sunville House, Thomondgate, on yesterday at the ripe age of 82 years. The deceased gentleman was for a long span of years a prominent and popular figure in municipal life. A native of the Castle Ward, in which his late residence is situate, he represented that constituency for many years in the old Corporation, and also at the Poor Law Board, in both of which his excellent business capacity and judgement had due weight, while his affable and kindly nature won for him the respected esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was also a Fishery Conservator, and ex-officio member of the Nenagh Board of Guardians, a Grand Juror of the County Tipperary, where he possessed considerable property and he held the Commission of the Peace for Tipperary and Limerick. He frequently attended Newport Petty Sessions, and while his health permitted was most regular occupant of the city bench. For the past few years, however, Mr. Bassett had retired into private life. It may be added that he was the oldest surviving member of the Masonic body in Limerick, having been Worshipful Master of Lodge 73 so far back as 1855. In church matters he took an active interest, and had been a member of the Select Vestry of St. Mary’s Cathedral down to 1894, since which time he has been in delicate health. The funeral will for St. Munchin’s Church on Thursday morning at ten o’clock. | Bassett, George William (I8)

| 1412 | Denver Post, Colorado, June 14, 2020 John Burt McKeever (Picture included) March 11, 1939 ? June 8, 2020 John Burt McKeever was born March 11, 1939 in Muncie, IN to Harold and Margaret McKeever. He enjoyed being a kid in Muncie, roaming the town on his bike and playing sports until dark. His family and childhood friends continued to be an important part of his life right up to the end. Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat! College days were spent at Earlham College in Richmond, IN, leading to a degree in Economics. After college he enlisted before he would have been drafted in the army. Fort Polk was not his favorite place, but he was a good soldier and was honorably discharged after six years. He hitchhiked to San Francisco and found work at Union Carbide. That work transferred him to Portland, OR and Salt Lake City, UT. Salt Lake was a wonderful place to live so John chose to quit his job and work for Wasatch Service & Supply for four years before starting his own Manufacturer's Rep business. His days in Salt Lake lasted 23 years and provided many wonderful memories and life-long friends. In 1991, it was beneficial for John to move to Denver and open a branch of his business there. The move was a good one and gave him the chance to make many more good friends. About 13 years after moving to Denver, John experienced kidney failure and was forced to retire. In 2005, at age 66, John had the unbelievable good fortune to receive a kidney transplant from a 24-year old who had died in an automobile accident in New York. At the time of death, that kidney was still going strong. John very much wanted to donate the kidney to someone else so they could be given additional years of life, but he found out than an organ can be transplanted only once. It was a mixed blessing because John wanted to die at home, and he would not have been able to do that if he had been able to donate his transplanted kidney. He was always extremely grateful to the donor's family for their gift that added fifteen years to his life. John was always an exceedingly kind and empathetic person. His parting wish would be for everyone to try to be a little kinder and more considerate of others, showing compassion for all. John died peacefully at home of prostate cancer on June 8, 2020. He is survived by Suzy, his wife of 52 years. At his request, there will not be a service. | McKeever, John Burt (I47269)

Bob got his pilot's license before he got his driver's license. His eyes kept him out of the Air Force and went to Washington State before serving an LDS mission in Alaska. Upon his return from the Arctic, he went to BYU with his sister Candice and met and proposed to Kathryn Spencer after a motorcycle ride to Bridal Veil Falls. (Yes. He really did ride a motorcycle.) Bob and Kathy had five children before adopting Nickolai and Natasha from Russia. Bob graduated in accounting, but found that boring, so he changed careers to do something more boring ? programing software. In his career he built a few companies and was a successful businessman traveling the entire United States and as far as India. But none would think of Bob as a businessman, CEO, or farmer, among all, he was a family man and father. This and his love for his Savior Jesus Christ were his only real passions. He may not have been able to dunk a basketball, but he was his boys' soccer coach, baseball coach, basketball, and racquetball coach. He was a great coach and scout leader. He loved his season tickets to BYU ? back when they were good. He played racquetball and was an avid runner ? turned biker ? turned hiker ? turned walker. His family enjoyed waiting for him at the finish line when he ran a marathon, but he preferred actually running with them at the Disney World Half Marathon. He raised his children in the gospel and led his family as a patriarch. He taught his children to seek Christ. He will be known most for his dad jokes ? his were the best ? or the worst ? depends on how you look at it. All his business dividends went to his family. He enjoyed four wheeling, boating, and vacations with his family. Lake Powell trips ? especially houseboat trips ? were his favorite. He would drive the boat while his family tubed, wakeboarded, and skied. The family may have lost a number of ropes under his watch. The boat may have been pulled back to the marina more than two occasions. But he only hit a sand bar and wrecked the prop twice, but who doesn't when you're on the lake that long? (And there was only one boating related ER trip?and it was Brett so it pretty much didn't count.) Bob could pack the tents and sleeping bags for a camp; the skis, poles, gloves, and coats for the slopes; the wakeboards, skis, rope, and life jackets for the lake; just don't ask him to pack a pinata ? the kids will be disappointed. He did not have luck with vehicles ? whether it was a refurbished "Ding-Click" van that sang to itself, a boat that wouldn't start, or a wakeboarding boat that wouldn't pull a wakeboarder. Once you got to a Bartel vacation, it was an adventure. No one could plan a better Disney trip. It may have been a stressed induced pandemonium requiring a vacation afterwards, but when the gates to the park opened, he knew which rides to run to that allowed for the most packed day as possible ... it's 58 ? 35 rides ? 19 water slides ? 3 monorails ? 1 ferry boat. He looked forward to family vacations, but also traveling alone with his wife. He had to. They needed to get some peace away from seven, loud, and obnoxious kids. He took her to the Caribbean Islands, Europe, Hawaii, and the Holy Land. He loved his family sooooo much, he wanted Ben and Bryce to work for him ? or Bryce wanted Bob to work for him ? it was never all that clear. The uncertainty never really resolved so he left to farm with Bryan. Much of his life was spent with his sons, but he would drop anything in the world to be with Britany?his daddy's little girl. His life was one of service. The only thing he loved more than having family over for dinner was cleaning up their plates and doing the dishes before they were done eating. The dishes were always clean as long as Bob was home. Lose a job, visiting the US, need a place to stay? Count was lost at how many people in need were taken into his home. He only regretted it once. (Everyone thought she was cray cray.) He and Kathy spent their free time serving as service missionaries in the Rose Park 2 ward and community. He was too old to move furniture, but did it anyway and continued to give everything he could. He lived his life trying to consecrate it to the service of God. Bob is survived by his wife of forty-three years Kathryn Spencer; his son, Brett and his children Riley, Jada, and Bradley with their mom Jessica; his son, Benjamin and his wife Marie with their children Miles, Ethan, Sofie, Cara, and Luke; his daughter, Britany and her husband Tyler with their children Zachary, Jack, and Olivia; his son, Bryce and his wife Megan with their children Shelby, Libby, and Samuel; his son, Bryan and his wife Jessica; his son Nikolai; his daughter Natasha; and his sister Candice and her husband Nolan.

December 6, 2018 Our mother Jeanne, member of the Greatest Generation, passed away on Thursday, December 6 in her home at Arbor North Living Center at the age of 98 years. She leaves behind a long legacy of good stories and loving relationships. Born in Jackson on January 31, 1920, she was the second of four surviving children born to Lena Bassett O?Neil and John Charles O?Neil. Jeanne grew up on Leroy Street on the east side of Jackson in a neighborhood settled by Irish and Polish families. She went to St. John?s School where she made many lifelong friends. After high school, she attended the former Jackson Business University in 1939 to complete a secretarial program. When she graduated, she became a secretary at a business in downtown Jackson called the Kellogg Corset Company, where she continued working during the WWII years. After the war, her future husband, Vernon Curran, worked for the US Post Office and delivered mail to her office. Jeanne and Vernon had both attended St. John?s School and knew of each other but weren?t really acquainted. Needing a date for an upcoming sorority dance at the Hotel Hayes, it was Jeanne who first asked Vernon out. The two married on June 28, 1947. They had six children that they raised in a house at 610 W. High Street. Vernon passed away in 1995. The family were members of St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish where Jeanne was a member of the Altar Society and St. Monica Circle. Jeanne and Vernon were avid card players and met many dear friends playing bridge. In her later years, Jeanne came to live at the Arbor North Living Center where she was a sought-after Euchre partner.

| 1426 | Died At the residence of John B. Webb, in Chowan county, on Thursday the 22d day of April, 1858, sister Mary Bass, daughter of the late John Bass, in her 45th year of her age. She had been afflicted for several years with consumption, but no confined until about three month before her death. Though, notwithstanding her sufferings, which cannot be described, she bore them with that degree of Christian meekness that should ever characterize those who profess to follow that Jesus who suffered so much for us. Sister Bass was one of the number that profess hope in Christ during the revival of 1833, and united with the church at Ballard?s Bridge, then under the care of Elder Miles Welch ? from which she was dismissed, and became one of the constituent of the church at Rockahock in 1835. In her death the church has lost one of its most useful members as a sister. She leaves a lonely sister, together with two brothers and a number of dear friends, to mourn their loss, though they all can cherish a good hope that their loss is her eternal gain.

| 1435 | Donaghy New Day Cremation & Funeral Care Stephen Bassett, October 30, 2025 Stephen F. Bassett, age 75, of Onset Massachusetts, born and raised in Middleboro, affectionately known as ?Grandpoozle?, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2025. Devoted husband to Edie (Greene) Bassett for 37 years, cherished son of the late Willam ?Bud? Bassett and Betty (Wright) Days, step-son of Herbert ?Sandy? Days, loving brother of Linda (Bassett) DeArruda and her husband John of Raynham, Julianne (Bassett) Stickle and her husband Michael of Indiana, Tina Bassett of Indiana, and nephew of Nancy Whynot of Virginia. Proud father of Peter Bassett and his wife Melissa of Middleboro, Allison (Greene) Miskiv and her husband Mike of Mashpee, Jaimee Greene and Joseph Castelo of New Bedford, Syretta Bassett of Florida, Cale Bassett of Pittsfield, Kara (Bassett) Ransom and her husband Michael of New Bedford, Billee (Bassett) Wright and her husband Kenneth of New Bedford, Nick Bassett and his wife Katelyn of Wareham, Moriah Bassett and her partner Tori of Plymouth, and 28 beloved grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Steve was a long-time Patriots and Bruins fan who you would frequently find lounging on the couch content munching a box of cookies with big glass of milk or with some scratch tickets chasing his million-dollar dream. He had a tremendous work ethic, without complaint, rarely missing a day. He was the classic grumpy old man although with a heart far bigger than he would ever admit, easily driven nuts by kids running through the house, yet secretly delighted by the chaos he pretended to be annoyed by. He leaves us with stories to laugh about, lessons to live by, and a love that will echo long after the grumbling has gone quiet. We will miss his stubbornness, the sight of him relaxing in his favorite spot, and the comfort of knowing he was always there. We promise to keep the noise down and stay ?in or out?. Rest easy old man. A memorial service will be held on November 24th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at Donaghy New Day Cremation and Funeral Care, 465 County St, New Bedford. A gathering will follow at the Middleboro Elks from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. The family asks that you honor him by spending time with those you love or sharing a story that keeps his memory alive. | Bassett, Stephen Francis (I31829)

| 1448 | Eannace Funeral Home Bernice Guilford Bass N. UTICA ? Lovingly known as ?Mother of the Church,? Bernice (Guilford) Bass, age 98, was embraced by Christ?s hands, as He greeted her with unbounded love and amazing grace, when she entered into rest on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Her children found caring for her effortless and each day they made it as pleasant as possible for her. They were by her side at the time of her peaceful passing. Born in Isabella, Pennsylvania, on June 25, 1927, Bernice was the daughter of the late Bishop Hezekiah and Elvia (Mays) Guilford. She was raised and educated in Pomona, New Jersey, attending Egg Harbor City Public Schools and graduating from Egg Harbor City High School. She later attended cosmetology school in Atlantic City, where she became a talented and creative beautician. Bernice cared for women from her home salon, where many faithfully returned for her skill and kindness. Bernice married the love of her life, Clifton Bass, on August 11, 1947. As a pastor?s wife, she walked beside her husband with such grace and an unwavering devotion to her Lord. They complemented one another with deep respect and a remarkable love and were committed on many levels. Bernice would often say, ?I had the best, why settle for less?? affectionately referring to her beloved husband as ?Chipper.? The couple shared 45 blessed years together prior to Clifton?s passing on May 2, 1993. In August of 1975, Clifton relocated his family to the Utica area through a job opportunity that proved to be a tremendous blessing to his family. He lovingly referred to the area as ?God?s Country.? Clifton faithfully served under the founder of Payne?s Temple C.O.G.I.C., Elder John Payne. In 1977, Clifton became Assistant Pastor, and on May 19, 1991, he was appointed Pastor of the church. From the very beginning of his ministry involvement, Bernice faithfully stood by his side. Through her wisdom, congenial spirit, and devotion, she became the beloved First Lady of the church, serving under seven pastors, each of whom she loved dearly, including her present pastor, Pastor Todd J. Rodriguez-Spencer. She persevered in her calling and remained sincerely attentive and compassionate toward all people. Bernice also served as District Missionary, carrying additional responsibilities and further elevating both her title and her own spiritual journey. She was not only the Church Mother but a mother figure to all. She could be remembered for many reasons, but above all else, it was her deep love and devotion to Jesus Christ that made her so captivating to others. Her calling began at an early age, witnessed first by her father, who recognized something majestic and profound within her spirit- all she ever knew was serving the Lord because she wa??s truly one of ?Hezekiah?s Angels,? which Hezekiah lovingly referred to his daughters as. Bernice carried within her heart a deep faith, trust, and love for the Lord, often describing it as though she could feel the fluttering of wings upon her shoulders. ?Jesus is Real? was more than a phrase to Bernice, it was the way she lived her life. She knew her relationship with the Lord was genuine, virtuous, and rooted in love. She welcomed others into that space of faith, and when she spoke, people listened. They learned from her message because it was sincere and remarkably humbling. Bernice offered encouragement, guidance, and inspiring faith to all who crossed her path, always reminding others to trust in the Lord. She prayed for everyone and lived by the words, ?We do the possible and God does the impossible!? Mother Bass was stoic in her faith, a quality greatly admired by others. She was loved, trusted, deeply respected. Though age began to slow her somewhat in 2020, Bernice will never be forgotten. She lives on in the hearts and minds of innumerable fellow worshipers and the community at large. She walked it, talked it, and truly proved what it meant to become a believer devoted to the Lord. Peace of mind gave Bernice comfort throughout her life. She was never one for conflict or distress, but instead kept her household filled with harmony while glorifying Jesus at all times. Most precious to Bernice was her family, along with her cherished church family, whom she considered an added blessing in her life. Her humility was rooted in the love she carried for others. She possessed qualities as rare and precious as gemstones, influencing those around her to remain mindful, compassionate, and tenderhearted. Bernice loved conversation and also possessed a spicy and sassy side that could be quite entertaining. In the proper setting, her quick wit and humor brought joy and laughter to those around her. She enjoyed caring for her collection of plants and flowers and loved Chanel?s collection of perfumes. Bernice deeply appreciated nature and often reflected upon ?how God created all things,? admiring birds, animals, and the beauty of creation. Penguins and red cardinals held a special place among her favorite animals. Children naturally embraced Mother Bass with joy and love, and she lovingly returned that affection. Her hugs were truly something special. She had a remarkable ability to recognize the children who needed a little extra care and compassion. Lighthearted and playful with them, she made young ones laugh easily, and they naturally gravitated toward her gentle spirit. Bernice firmly believed that nothing was too difficult through faith, often living by the words, ?I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.? To help provide for the needs of her family, Bernice worked throughout her life in several positions. She was employed with AT&T operating switchboards, a position through which she came to know many people. She later worked for Sears & Roebuck in the children?s clothing department and eventually in the warranty department. Bernice also accepted a position with the Utica City School District working in its cafeterias, where she became affectionately known as ?Grandma? because of her tender touch and loving presence. Bernice was also a proud Red Hatter, a reflection of the fun-loving side of her personality. She enjoyed dining out and treasured the memories made while taking a cruise to Nassau with her daughter, an experience that brought her great joy and lasting happiness. Angels were beautifully displayed throughout her home, often bringing comfort and peace. Bernice lived a fruitful life filled with gratitude and carried no regrets. Family reunions and trips back and forth to New Jersey to visit her sisters and loved ones brought her tremendous excitement and joy. Food was always an important expression of love to Bernice, and she became especially known as an amazing ?Chicken Soup Maker.? Her beloved church home was Payne?s Temple C.O.G.I.C., where she deeply loved the Lord, her Pastor, and her church family. The church remained a true second home to her throughout her life. Bernice?s courage, perseverance, and unwavering dedication to her responsibilities inspired admiration from all who knew her, and many were strengthened by her remarkable fortitude. Mother Bass is survived by her son, Dennis Lee Bass (the late Dorothy Bass); daughter, Denise Ward; grandchildren, Keisha Bass, and Shameka Bass; Stanley, Veronica, and Gregory Sykes; and great-grandchildren, Myson, Keyomi; and Logan. She is further survived by her sister, Juanita Drinks (the late Elder James Drinks). Cherished were the memories of her late sisters and brothers-in-law, Evangelist Ernestine Cruz and Minister Francisco Cruz, Beatrice and Larkey Mays, Ida Mae and Bishop C.C. Mays, Alice Parker-Jones and Herny Jones, and Ruth and Charles Bass; and brothers, Eugene Guildford, William Guilford, and Hosea. She also leaves her sister-in-law, Versey Bass (the late Rev. Martin V. Bass). She had sweet nieces and handsome nephews, cousins; and four precious godchildren, Spring Smoakes, Karen Boykin, and Gina Henry. Among her many treasured friendships, she was especially blessed with her friend of over 60 years, Della Woods. Mother Bass? children Dennis and Denise wish to extend their humble gratefulness to EVERYONE for their care, compassion, and prayers. The overwhelming sense of love being poured out by the community at large, as well as Pastor Todd J. Rodriguez-Spencer and the entire Payne?s Temple C.O.G.I.C. family will be forever remembered. A special thank you to Drs. Lwin and Shwe Win for over 30 years of guidance and care rendered to Mother Bass.
