James Sydney Bass

NASHVILLE - James Sydney Bass, age 83, entered into eternal rest on Friday, March 27, 2020. He was born on April 28, 1936, to the late James McPhaul Bass and Anna Ruth Joyner Bass. He was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Mary Lee Hedgepeth Bass. Stump was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather affectionately known as "Gauggie" to his grandchildren and great-grandson.

Stump was born in Beaufort, NC and moved to the Red Oak Community in 1948. He was a member of the Beulah Church of Christ and graduated from Red Oak High School where he was active on their basketball and baseball teams. After graduating from the class of 1956 at Lees-McRae College, he returned to Red Oak and spent his time farming before working at Consolidated Diesel until his retirement. As a veteran of the United States Army, Stump loved his country and was a member of the American Legion post in Nashville, NC. Devoted to his wife, they spent over 45 years traveling and attending NCSU football, basketball and baseball games. A friendly conversationalist, Stump never met a stranger and always had a humorous story to share with others. Literally no matter how far from home he and Mary Lee traveled, they always ran in to someone who knew him.

Stump leaves to cherish his memory, children, Karen B Seawell (Jim Glover), Art Bass, John Bass and wife, Lisa; grandchildren, Ryan Seawell, Mary Katherine Seawell (Nick DeWolfe), Logan Seawell Briggs and husband Josh, Amber Parker, Hannah, Morgan and John Michael Bass.; and a great-grandson, Nathan Briggs.

In Memory of Laura May Bassett
February 10, 1926 – October 13, 2012
Descended from Oregon pioneers, Laura May Hoss Bassett was born on 2/10/26 to Hal and Myrtle (Lantz) Hoss in Oregon City, the youngest of 4 children. The family moved between Salem, Taft, Toledo and Molalla before and after Hal served as Secretary of State from 1928 - 1934. Laura graduated from Molalla High School, where she was class Valedictorian, then studied at OSU for one year. Moving to Portland, she worked for the John Deere Plow Company and as a receptionist at KEX Radio. She later worked at the Deschutes County Clerk office. Following WWII, Laura met Clifford "Bud" Bassett, Jr. on a blind date; they wed on 6/6/47. They were married for 33 years before Bud’s death, living in Bend and Portland. In 1980, Laura met her longtime companion, Jerry Goodwin, with whom she celebrated 32 years together just weeks prior to her passing. A longtime resident of NE Portland, Laura was a homemaker and the neighborhood Avon Lady for over 45 years, making lifelong friends via her sales route. She was fan of Dixieland and a member of the Traditional Jazz Society. Laura enjoyed dancing, travel, a good laugh, and spending time with family and friends as well as her ritual of morning coffee and keno at Sam’s in Hollywood. The extended family will long remember Christmas Eve at Aunt Laura’s when she was likely to play standards on the piano as the cousins sang along. Despite health challenges of the last few years, Laura retained her sunny disposition and skill at the crossword puzzle until the end, and died at home, just as she’d wished. She is survived by her daughter, Jeanine Bassett (Kyle Newell), and son, Robert (Judy) Bassett of Portland, and sister, Jean Gallagher of Salem. The family wishes to express gratitude to Providence Hospice, most especially Dee, Gail and Erin. A memorial will be held at Ross Hollywood Chapel, 4733 NE Sandy, on Friday, 10/26 at 2pm.

SECOND GENERATION

Carol Ann Bassett Hamilton, Bermuda

Mrs. Bassett was appointed president of the [Bermuda] Senate in 2008 after five years as an independent senator. She is an avid runner who has completed two marathons, a successful businesswoman and a community activist. Bermuda’s first female Senate president previously worked for BF&M for more than 27 years. She began work as a secretary and used courses at the Technical College to advance her prospects. She retired from BF&M in 2004 as vice president of Life Insurance. Mrs. Bassett is married to Roderick. Both are retired, they have three sons and a granddaughter. Senator Bassett is a member of the Mount Zion AME Church. President, the Bermuda Senate Carol Ann (Marie) Bassett P.O. Box HM 1007 Hamilton HM DX 298-0300 cambassett@gov.bm

Avid runner, businesswoman, community activist, grandmother and now, Bermuda's first female Senate president.

Carol Anne Bassett has achieved much in her life. Yet the five-term Senator who broke down barriers last Friday when she accepted the role of President of the Upper House, expressed her shock over her latest accomplishment insisting she had never seen it coming.

Speaking with The Royal Gazette immediately after her first session, the independent Senator said: "I have got to process it. It's really an honour. It's really humbling. I would not have thought it would be me.

"Years ago, when I was asked to join the Senate, if people told me that this was in my future I would have called them crazy. At the end of the day it's not about me. It's about what is best for the community. I am willing to step in and do what I can for the community."

Sen. Bassett and her husband Roderick, have been married for 27 years. Both retired, they have three sons and a granddaughter.

She said she wasn't officially told she was in contention for the seat left vacant in September by former independent Senator Alf Oughton until immediately before Friday's Throne Speech. However her husband had heard rumours she might be asked, and encouraged her to take on the role.

"He heard it might be me and he said, 'Take it and I will support you'.

"I have always had his support throughout my career. That's a great thing. It's really important to me that my home environment is a peaceful environment."

The pair first crossed paths when she began working at BF&M Insurance as a secretary.

Mr. Bassett offered the future Senator a ride one day while she was walking in the rain, headed for a bus. Today they are happily married and while she takes up the mantle at the Senate he uses his accountancy skills as a consultant for small businesses.

In the period between, Sen. Bassett has also seen professional success. From that initial start as a secretary, she used courses at the Technical College to advance her prospects. She retired from BF&M in 2004 as vice president of Life Insurance.

In 2003, former Governor Sir John Vereker approached her with what she considered to be a surprising request.

"I was asked by Governor Vereker to come up to Government House. I knew they were looking for an independent, but I thought they must have got the wrong person," she said admitting the task proposed was unlike any of the community work she had been involved with in the past.

"I thought I was going to say, 'This is not my forte'. Then I thought, 'You know what? It's my opportunity to serve'.

She hopes that all of her years in the insurance industry, where she was able to hone her problem-solving skills, will serve her well in her new role.

A member of the Mount Zion AME Church, Sen. Bassett says that religion always guides her path, while running – she has completed two marathons – helps alleviate stress.

She said she learned much from watching Sen. Oughton, the longest-serving Senate president with ten years under his belt, navigate the Upper House. She hopes the role will enable her to place greater community focus on education and seniors – two areas she feels desperately in need of address.

"When you don't get emotionally involved, if someone is upset you can divorce yourself from that and you can deal with different people in your life," she said. "It means it will not determine how I react – I am sure that (the Senate) is going to test it in there. I used to watch Sen. Oughton and I really appreciate his strength.

"I saw the compassion that he had and the objectivity he had. I didn't lean one way or the other. You need to be respectful to each other.

"I think the world changes so quickly. Before the market thing in the US – who would have predicted that? Anything can happen. So we really need to come together as a community.

“We need to look after our young people and make sure they are educated, prepared and not caught up in the latest fad.

"And we really need to take care of our elderly. Really, be prepared for anything." 
Carol Ann (I9)
