Gail was pregnant in 1969 when she and Steve attended the race in Atlanta and met up with Cale Yarborough there. Yarborough and Steve made a bet that if Yarborough won the race that day and Gail gave birth to a boy, that they would name the baby "Cale."

Haskell Funeral Home ? Lovell ? 28 February 2024
Jeffery Stringham Bassett

Jeffery Stringham Bassett died Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024, at his home in Lovell.
He was born to Joe and Iris Bassett on January 25, 1961, in Lovell, the fifth child and fourth son. He would later be joined by his younger sister Jackie. Being the youngest, the two were close and have remained so. Jeff was the first boy born in Lovell in 1961, so he received a basket full of goodies.
Jeff spent the first year of his life in Kane. When he was 1 year old his family moved to Road 15 in Lovell, where his mother lives today.
Jeff was a busy boy. He spent a lot of time with Brad Tippetts. The two of them could get in more trouble than the law would allow. One night when spending the night at Brad's, the two had a shotgun. The gun went off and shot a hole in the floor. No one was hurt, but they damaged the floor. Being resourceful the boys fixed the hole. Wilford and Marilyn, Brad's parents, only found out when they moved.
Jeff grew up on the farm and enjoyed tractor work. He also learned to work cattle from his dad. He always talked about being a roper at rodeos, practicing constantly with bales of hay with horns. A lesson he learned from his dad and passed on to his sons was, "Never run your horse, or you will be walking."
When he was 7, he was working with his dad burning weeds when the propane tank exploded, leaving Jeff severely burned. These burns would be with him for 57 years, ultimately causing him much pain and illness.
He graduated from Lovell High School in 1979 and went to Ricks College the fall of 1981 for a year. He then returned to work on the family farm.
In the summer of 1986, he began dating JodyLynne Woody. The two were married in 1987. They recently celebrated 36 years of marriage last November. To this marriage four boys were born, Jacob, Jackson, Jesse and Joey. These boys were Jeff's pride and joy.
The family spent many weekends camping, hunting and fishing. He used to say he spent more time untangling lines than fishing. Jeff's lifestyle was farming. He instilled hard work in his boys. Many of life's lessons were taught on ditch banks.
His boys were all athletic. He spent many Saturdays watching wrestling. After a match the boys would visit with their dad on what they did to win a match or what they should have done. He was so proud of all their accomplishments. All four boys were State placers. Not too many dads could say that. He was supportive of his wife and boys in all that they did.
His handsome and successful boys are all married. Jeff finally got daughters. He graciously received them into his life and home. Having daughters meant having grandchildren. He used to say, "I always thought my boys were smart until I had grandchildren. They are geniuses."
Jeff was on the Sunlight Drain board and worked to help his neighbors. He was a shareholder in the Western Sugar Cooperative. He was awarded Cooperative of the Year for the Shoshone Conservation District.
Jeff and JodyLynne loved to travel. The places they have been and the friends they have made along the way will always be special. They were best friends and did everything together. Jeff will be missed by many, especially by his boys and wife.
Jeff was preceded in death by his dad, Joe Bassett, and nephew Jeremy Croft.
He is survived by his loving wife and best friend, JodyLynne; four boys, Jacob (Tosha), Jackson (Lara), Jesse (Kat) and Joey (Tori); grandchildren Khloe, Kannon, Louanna, Twyla, Baron and Samson, with a tie breaker due in May; mother Iris Bassett; brothers Rusty (Sonja), Jodee (Donna) and Matt (Tracy) Bassett; sisters Jennifer Cerroni and Jackie (H.K.) Click; brothers-in-law Johnny (Gina) Woody, Jimmy Woody, Brad (Chris) Kuntz and Erik (Mindy) Kuntz; sisters-in-law Tanya (Doug) Kluge and Teri (Joe) Serger; fathers-in-law Troy (Tina) Woody and Jon (Judy) Martin; mother-in-law Linda Martin (Steve Ramsey); and many nieces and nephews. He also leaves his beloved pets Moose, Sii, Shadow and Peaches.
The family sends a special thank you to Brad Kuntz for helping care for Jeff the last week of his life.
A funeral service was held March 1 at the LDS Stake Center in Lovell with visitation one hour prior to the service. Interment was in the Lovell Cemetery.
Donations may be made in memory of Jeff to the Masons of Lovell on behalf of Tri-Mountain View Lodge No. 35.

Rocklin, California

Jackqualyn Rae Hoffman Bassett arrived on January 26, 1947, on Sunday in Yankton, South Dakota, to parents Robert Stofer Hoffman, and Arlean Bernice Vilhauer. Her birthday would have marked 76 years of life. She passed through the veil on January 24, 2023 at her Rocklin CA. home.
She was a wonderful daughter of God, a beloved sweetheart, a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. As an only child she spent her early years in South Dakota until her parents moved to California, living in Bellflower and La Mirada. In 1965 she was in the first graduating class of La Mirada High School.
The talented musician played many interments, was in several school bands, and nicknamed ?Tink? because she played the glockenspiel in the marching band, Disney?s Tinker Bell was her logo of choice. While in high school she joined the Rainbow Girls, a group for young women. In her senior year of high school she met Ron Bassett, her future husband, a member of the Order of DeMolay, and they began dating. He escorted Jackie to her Senior Prom.
Ron, better known as ?Smokey?, joined the Air Force in 1965. His first assignment was to a radar squadron on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, CA, and so there were long drives for short dates with his sweetheart. Jackie and Smokey were married in 1966 at Norwalk, CA. They lived in San Rafael, son William, was born at the nearby Hamilton AFB. In 1968 orders were received to West Germany, the family was soon on their way and they lived in a German village. In October 1968 baby Richard joined them and in February 1970 the cute little daughter Kristina arrived. Both were born at the Wiesbaden military hospital.
Each May for the next 4 years her husband made military moves. First to Minnesota, then to Alaska, back to California and to Alaska again before 3 years at McClellan AFB. Again Jackie took the lead purchasing a home in Rancho Cordova with a short walk to the kid?s school and church. On July 9, 1977, the family were sealed together for all time and eternity in the Oakland Temple.
They returned to West Germany and lived in a military housing area near the city of Kaiserslautern. Here they stayed for 6 years and had many adventures visiting much of Western Europe. Jackie worked at the base hobby shop and took advanced art lessons from the University of Wiesbaden professor of art. Various art works hang in their home as testimony of her artistic talent. Her loving nature and leadership skills helped as she served as the Relief Society President of the largest overseas military LDS Ward, where she was able to share her love and talents.
By August 1985 the family had grown up, William graduated from high school, and the family was headed to Andrews Air Force Base near Washington D.C., where Jackie worked at the base hospital and served as a seminary teacher. William was called to serve a mission in Hong Kong, Richard graduated from high school and left for his mission in Oregon, and in the Spring of 1988, after Kris graduated, the family retired after 23 years active duty, and Jackie, Smokey, Kris and Sammy (their dog) headed west, returning to their Rancho Cordova home. In 1989 they moved into the Rocklin house that has been their home for 34 years and became home-base as their sons? married and families grew. Grandkids can tell stories of many family gatherings, wild Christmas? morning gift openings, Easter egg hunts, birthdays and Thanksgiving feasts.
Jackie worked at Mather AFB, then at McClellan, where Smokey was the Chief of Community Relations and Jackie accompanied him to community events. In 2001, McClellan closed and Jackie worked for a time at Beale AFB, then with the federal Department of Reclamation. While there she was sent to New Orleans to supervise clean-up efforts following Hurricane Katrina, a month-long task that tested her leadership abilities and work ethic. In 2009 Jackie also retired with 23 years of federal service.
Jackie loved to travel, experiencing new places and adventures! She has been to 26 countries, walked where the Savior had walked in Israel, snorkeled in the Caribbean, ate onion soup at a street café in Paris, been on the Great Wall of China and visited the new Rome Temple.
Perhaps her longest, but quiet efforts to serve, was for 12 years she sewed baby blankets for the Sutter Medical Center?s NitCu ward. She made 10 blankets every month! As each small blanket was completed she would give it a mother?s hug.
Jackie?s greatest joy was her family which grew to 11 grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and several spouses. Her three children achieved college degrees, as did two grandchildren, and there have been seven missions served. Although mostly bed ridden for the past year, in May she went to Utah to attend a grandson?s wedding to a young lady that Jackie quickly loved as much as the rest of her kids. Then in August she joined 20 members of her family for an Alaskan cruise. Each day she got on an electric scooter and joined her ?kids? for various activities. She had so much fun zipping around the ship and being an active part of her family?s adventure, it really energized her!
In November they marked their 56th wedding anniversary, and later were surprised when several grandkids arrived from Utah. One of the granddaughters had made a quilt from material sent from the other grandkids and they presented it to their Grandmother! Making the gathering even more precious was Jackie being able to hold her 3-month old great-grandson, named Jackson after her. The joy on her face was so beautiful as her ?kids? gathered around the bed as she met this newest family member.
On Tuesday morning, January 24, while asleep in her hospital bed in the front room, once the site of so many celebrations, she quietly completed her earthly mission. Two days later, on the 26th, she may have celebrated her 76th birthday with many departed family members that were waiting for her to arrive, many of whom she had completed temple work for over the years.
What a life story this great woman had, what a living testimony she was for many who are here today.
She was here, she was loved and loved others, and her life made a difference!

Born February 15, 1967, in Newnan, she was a daughter of the late James Bass and the late Joan Leavitt Bass. Angie was a member of the First Pentecostal Holiness Church, where her faith nurtured a boundless kindness and innocence, and an unyielding spirit of generosity that marked her as a true angel among us. To know Angie was to witness a soul that would do anything for anybody, a rare and precious gift that set her apart. Her laughter was infectious, a melody of joy that could brighten the darkest of rooms, and she had a special place in her heart for children. Rooted deeply in her Maliseet Indian heritage, Angie took immense pride in this lineage, embracing and celebrating it as one of her proudest accomplishments. Angie found delight in the simple pleasures of life. She enjoyed trips to the casino, where the thrill mingled with camaraderie and fun, and she was a huge wrestling fan, passionately captivated by the drama and athleticism that the sport displayed. Though her departure leaves a void, her legacy of kindness, laughter, and unwavering love will echo through the hearts she touched, a lasting reminder that angels walk among us, sometimes disguised in the humblest of forms.

William H. Sharp
Includes portraits for both William and Augusta

Now of Scott valley, was born in the Mohawk valley, New York, September 14, 1825, and at the age of two and one-half years his parents moved to St. Lawrence county, New York, and settled in Ogdensburg. William H., was the eighth of a family of nine children, seven of whom are still living. He was the son of Jacob and Sarah (Ranney) Sharp, his mother being a sister of General Ranney. William grew up in Ogdensburg, working at various trades, being ready, as he says, to do anything honorable for a livelihood. In 1846 he left the parental roof and went to Bellevue, Huron county, Ohio, and engaged in agricultural pursuits. In one year he married Miss Augusta Bassett, daughter of Doris Bassett, a native of New York. In 1849, hearing of the rich gold discoveries in California, he was thereby induced to dispose of his property, leave his family with friends and start via the emigrant trail of that day, for the coast, in company with nineteen others. They left Ohio in march and arrived at Hangtown (Placerville) in November. Here Mr. Sharp mined four weeks with his friends, then went to Sacramento and from there to Mariposa county. While returning some time after from a mining excursion to the Four Creek country, one of the party was killed by a bear. After settling in Mariposa again, Mr. Sharp engaged in teaming from Stockton. He ran six teams of from six to eight animals each, and followed this business till the fall of 1851, when he opened a corral. In the fall of ?51 he sold the corral and returned to the States for his wife and child, by the water route. Remaining one year in Ohio and not being content, he returned to California in 1853, across the plains with ox-teams. Upon his arrival he stopped at Feather river and at Stockton, where he engaged in farming one season. Not being satisfied with the San Joaquin valley, he saddled a mule and started a search of a better. Finding what he wanted in Siskiyou county he returned for his family, and came with them across the Scott mountains. He experienced the hardest trip he had ever made, and landed in Scott valley on Christmas morning of 1854. He brought with him chickens, pigs, and the first turkeys in the valley, for which last he was offered as high as fifty dollars per pair. He went at once to farming on the place he now owns, which at that time he rented. In 1856 he moved over to the place where Marsac now lives and put in about 500 acres of grain. Here nine of his family were sick at one time with typhoid fever, and his doctor?s fill was $1,500, but settled with Dr. Kinney of Fort James for $700 in the following year. He then moved to the east side of the valley and purchased the home where he now resides. Mrs. Sharp died in 1877. There were born to them ten children, viz.: Emily, Philip, Frederick, Augusta, Friedell, Eugene, Josephine, Frank, Walter, and William who is deceased. Mr. Sharp comes of a long-lived family. His mother is yet living and has numbered 103 years. His father died in Ogdensburg, New York, in 1830. Mr. Sharp?s education was limited to what he could learn at the common schools of his native county. He is a Baptist in religion and a Republican in politics. He is a member of Fort Jones Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and Mrs. Sharp is buried in the Odd Fellows cemetery, with a beautiful monument above her grave. Mr. Sharp has always been a hardworking, upright man and has won the good-will and esteem of a large acquaintance.
