- Find-A-Grave
Mrs. Fannie Strickland Bass, 91, passed away on October 27, 2015. She was born January 21, 1924 in Sampson County and lived there all her life until her declining health required her to move to live with her daughter and son-in-law and later to The Oaks at Mayview in Raleigh. She was preceded in death by her husband, Cleveland Bass; her parents, Aubrey and Lou Venia Strickland; and two brothers, Lewis and Alton Strickland.
A kind and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt is how she will always be remembered. She leaves behind to cherish her memory one daughter, Sandra Bass Wilkes and husband Billy; granddaughter, Gena Wilkes Farris and husband Jeff; great- granddaughter Hayden Farris; and sister Helen Strickland Mangum, all of Raleigh. She also leaves many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
Mrs. Bass retired from Belk where she was employed for over forty years. She was active in her community well into her eighties and was a member of Lee’s Chapel Original Free Will Baptist Church. In October 1993 she was honored for her church work by the Cape Fear Woman’s Auxiliary Council for her faithful and loyal service.
