Barbara Bass, March 2, 2021
Rocklin, California - Barbara Jean Bass died from congestive heart failure at the age of 84. She was born on International Women's Day?an auspicious beginning for the smart, sassy woman she would become. Her quick wit, unshakeable integrity, sharp sense of humor, and generous spirit endeared her to all who knew her.
Barbara was a skilled poker player, trap shooter, bowler, apple-sauce maker, knitter, and avid sports fan. Her work ethic was legendary?at a time in life when many settle into retirement, she began a career as a bank teller, a job that lasted for more than 20 years.
She was the matriarch of her family. She was described as "the best," "a force of nature," and "my whole world." When asked how she saw herself, Barbara replied, "I'm the supervisor." She was an unwavering presence in her family's lives: funny and wise and respected and adored. She leaves behind her children Sandra and Ronald; her 5 grandchildren & 2 great grand children; and her brother Donald. She is reunited with her beloved husband Clifton and her son, Robert. She will be forever missed.
