BESSETTE, 19, of Bedford Drive, Green Hill, a freshman at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, Pa., who died Thursday at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia after a sudden illness, will be celebrated Wednesday at 10 a.m. in St. Francis Church, High Street, Wakefield. Born in South Kingstown, Jan. 10, 1982, a daughter of William R. and Kathleen M. (Sprague) Bessette, she was a lifelong resident of South County. Kerri was an honor roll graduate of South Kingstown High School, Class of 2000. While at South Kingstown High, she was captain of the girls cross country team, which held the state championship from 1996 until 1999. She was captain of the girls track and field team, which also held the state championship from 1997 until 2000. This earned her a scholarship to LaSalle University in track and field. In high school she began a Habitat for Humanities program and was involved in Students Against Drunk Driving. She played local softball and basketball, and played on a travel team in soccer. In college, she was a Big Sister and ran both indoor and outdoor track and field. She held several jobs locally, including at the Village Bakery and the Sea Horse Grill at Theater by the Sea. Besides her parents, she leaves a brother, Scott D. Bessette of South Orange, N.J.; a paternal grandmother, Mae W.

Providence Journal, Rhode Island, Saturday, April 14, 2001 Kerri Bessette College student from Wakefield dies of bacterial meningitis Kerri Bessette, a star athlete at South Kingstown High School, was stricken with the illness in Philadelphia. Kerri Bessette, 19, a former all-state cross-country star at South Kingstown High School whom friends described as upbeat and outgoing, died in Philadelphia Thursday from complications of bacterial meningitis. A freshman elementary- and special-education major at La Salle University, Bessette grew up in the South Kingstown village of Wakefield. From the Video Junction youth soccer squad in South County to La Salle's cross-country and track teams, Bessette was a dedicated athlete, friends said yesterday. In 1999, she was the top finisher among girls in the Celebrate Summer 5K in Snug Harbor; a year later she improved her time by 3 minutes, to 21 minutes and 57 seconds, and was among the 10 fastest women. Bessette did not neglect her studies, however. As a senior at South Kingstown, she made the honor roll every quarter, and her major at La Salle was a demanding one, requiring an early declaration of intent and a year of student teaching. Bessette intended to teach kindergarten or first grade, said Ashley Matteson, a South Kingstown classmate. Bessette would have followed the career path of her mother, Kathy, who teaches special-education at Matunuck Elementary, Matteson said. "She was so committed to everything that she started," said Jill Apicerno, another classmate. "Even in elementary school she was so dedicated to everything she did." In junior high school, Apicerno said, Bessette belonged to South Kingstown Kids Against Temptation. She continued similar work in high school with Students Against Drunk Driving and a group called Youth to Youth. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meningitis is an infection of the fluid of the spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. Viruses and bacteria can carry the disease, but the bacterial variety is usually more severe. The disease is spread through close contact. When La Salle officials learned of Bessette's illness earlier this week, the school's health center offered free antibiotics to students and staff who had been in recent contact with Bessette. University officials notified the community of her death with a note posted on its Web site, and the Division of Student Affairs provided counseling for her schoolmates. The Catholic university will celebrate a liturgy in Bessette's memory at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Funeral arrangements were not complete yesterday afternoon. | Bessette, Kerri Lynn (I18312)

| 2188 | Public Ledger, Memphis, Tennessee, Wednesday, 26 April 1893 In Society One of the prettiest and happiest weddings that has occurred in Memphis was that of Miss Carrie E. Bassett and Mr. W.E. Barnes at Calvary Church at 5:30 o?clock last evening. It attracted a large number of relatives and friends of the couple and their respective families. While Prof. C.P. Winkler performed a favorite wedding march on the grand organ, the bridal party, excepting the groom, proceeded up the main aisle of the church to the altar, the following gentlemen as ushers leading: Messrs. H.A. Ramsey, Philip Yancey, C.R. Barbee and J.L. Thompson. Then came the charming and beautifully attired bride leaning upon the arm of her uncle, Mr. Robert Lockwood. The groom emerged from the vestry room to meet the bride at the altar, attended by Mr. W. G. Thomas as best man and preceded W.G. Thomas as best man and preceded by Rev. Drs. Dumbell and Davenport, who officiated in the marriage ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony the couple were driven to the depot and left for a tour of the West, followed by a great volume of the sincerest good wishes. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. Geroge T. Bassett, and is a young lady of many and pronounced charms, a reigning favorite in social circles. Mr. Barnes is a young man of excellent business standing and worth, possessing to a large degree those sturdy habits and recognized abilities which accomplish prosperity in his every undertaking. Nashville Banner, Tennessee, Thursday, 6 July 1893 Found Dead A Wealthy Lumber Merchant of Memphis Expires in the Woods The Corpse of Mr. George Bassett, Who Had Been Missing Three Days, Is Found Special to the Banner. MEMPHIS, July 6.-Monday morning George T. Bassett, a wealthy lumber merchant of this city, drove from his home in a buggy to go up town and did not return. His disappearance was advertised and the police were notified. Last night his death body was found ten miles south of here. He was lying on his back under a bush, a handkerchief over his breast and his coat hanging on a fence, as though he had lain in the shade to rest. The horse and buggy stood beside him, the animal being thin, as though it had not been fed. Mr. Bassett had been ill for a month and showed signs of mental aberration. It is supposed he spent the three days aimlessly driving about the woods, exposed to the storm of Monday, the heat and without for or shelter. The Memphis Commercial, Tennessee, Thursday, 6 July 1893 Solved Only In Death Was the Mystery of Mr. George T. Bassett?s Disappearance His Dead Body Found South of the City Last Night With His Horse and Buggy Beside It. Solved in death is the mystery disappearance of Mr. George T. Bassett. His dead body was found at Frayzer?s farm, known as Magnolia farm, about twelve miles south of the city, on the Horn Lake road, last night about 6 o?clock. On Monday morning Mr. Bassett left his home, 123 Fifth street, Chelsea, in his buggy and was seen no more in life. He had been ill for a month and his family feared he had driven aimlessly away while suffering from a temporary aberration of intellect, or that perhaps he had been waylaid, robbed and foully dealt with, as he had $50 or $60 on his person. The former theory is apparently the correct one. Where the unfortunate gentleman spent all of Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday is not known, nor how long the body had lain before it was found, but it is probable that it could have escaped observation many hours, since his horse and buggy stood close to the corpse. The body lay in an old field under a bush. There had been no violence, and the position and the surroundings indicated that the deceased had lain down to rest in the shade, when the summons came. His coat was found hanging on the fence, the body was lying on its back, with a handkerchief on the breast, and death had apparently come painlessly while he slept. The strange feature of the affair is that the deceased should have remained undiscovered for three days in such close proximity to the city in a fairly well settled section, and when his disappearance had been so widely advertised. He probably stayed in the woods, or in little frequented lanes, and what the privation and exposure to the weather he suffered may may never be known. The news did not reach the city until 2:45 o?clock this morning. The reason of this long delay was that the man who found the remains walked all the way to the city, to the corner of Main and Iowa avenue, from which place he telephoned to the police station. Capt. Hackett on receipt of the news, at once procured a buggy, and carried the sad news to the bereaved family. Mr. Bassett was an old and esteemed citizen of Memphis. For many years he was in the lumber business, having been a member of the firm of Moore & Bassett, Bassett & Clagg, Williams & Co, and other firms. He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his loss. 1870 Federal Census of 1st ward, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee (1 Jun 1870) G.T.

June 8, 2025 It is with heavy hearts and deep love that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Debora Edgerton Bass, who entered into eternal rest on June 8, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Debbie was born February 17, 1955 in Wilson, the daughter of Alton Reid Edgerton and Elizabeth Culbreth Edgerton. In addition to her parents Debbie was preceded in death by her father-in-law, Pete Bass. A woman of quiet strength and unwavering faith, Debbie lived her life rooted in grace, compassion, and purpose. She devoted over two decades to teaching Girls in Action (GAs), guiding young hearts in their spiritual journeys and modeling what it meant to live a life devoted to Christ. Her faith was not only something she spoke about, but it was also something she lived daily, through acts of kindness, service, and steadfast love. Debbie found joy in the simple wonders of life. She loved to cast a line and spend peaceful hours fishing, stroll the shores collecting seashells, and beam with pride from the bleachers as she watched her grandchildren play sports. She was their biggest fan and fierce protector, always cheering the loudest, both on and off the field. To know her was to be loved by her. Debbie was truly the sweetest soul ? gentle in spirit, generous with her heart, and always ready with a warm smile or encouraging words. Her love knew no bounds, and her legacy of faith, kindness, and devotion will live on in the many lives she touched. Debbie is survived by her beloved husband of 52 years, Mike Bass; son, Michael L. Bass, Jr. (Monica); daughter, Amy David (Andrew); grandchildren, Tyson David, Gia David, Brooklyn Bass, and Lynley Bass; brother, Al Edgerton (Christine); sister, Sarah Arnold (Loren); mother-in-law, June Bass; sisters-in-law, Pam Smith (Don) and Debbie Godbold; several nieces and nephews; and countless others who were blessed to know Debbie.
