Dorothy Jane Bass
DEFOREST / WINDSOR - Dorothy Jane Bass, age 98, passed away on July 15, 2014, at Parkside Assisted Living in Windsor.
Dorothy was born on June 27, 1916, to Ansel and Elsie (Cobb) Atwater in Barron, Wis. She graduated from Rosendale High School in 1933. She was united in marriage to her high school sweetheart, Clifford Bass, on July 10, 1938, in Ripon. They moved to Dallas, Wis., in 1940, and lived there until moving to DeForest in 1968. Dorothy was very active in the Dallas Methodist Church, directing the choir and teaching Sunday and Bible School.
