She was a 1968 graduate of Union High School, where she met and later married her high school sweetheart, Mike Bass. She was a member of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, where she served in numerous leadership roles. She retired from Sampson County Schools to be full-time “Nana” to her grandson Cole. She enjoyed spending time with her family and close friends, especially at the beach.
