Barbara was predeceased by her two sons Raymond L. Bass Jr. and Jason K. Bass Post. She will be missed by many more friends and relatives. A lover of animals, through her years Barbara loved many fur babies that have passed on to animal Heaven, most recently her beloved shitzu, Princess.
Barbara, affectionately known as Nana and Barb, always had a smile on her face and love in her heart. The happiness of her family meant everything to her and she always found a way to help others. She was a lover of elephants with their trunks up, a nice hearty steak with a double shot margarita from Texas Roadhouse, enjoyed a relaxing search-a-word puzzle, listening to country music, as she was a farm girl originally from Rochester Vermont, and watching a good New York Yankees or New England Patriots game with her late husband. Barbara worked in a jewelry factory before retiring and was a collector of many trinkets, notably her very large salt 'n pepper shaker collection. In her retirement, she ran an antiques booth at Americana Flea Market on the weekends. She enjoyed spending time, especially the holidays, with her extended family and having many laughs. She will be remembered with love and fondness now that she is with her Honey and her two sons.
