Flora Adams Bass, 87, of 209 Quiet Water Lane, Clinton, died Thursday, October 16, 2014, at Sampson Regional Medical Center, surrounded by her family. Flora was the widow of Newberry Bass, Sr. and together they raised and reared their children as they grew up and worked together on the family farm. She was the daughter of Chester and Myrtie Jackson Adams, and was predeceased by 3 sisters: Mable Tadlock, Betty Jean Adams Green, Faye Adams Brinson; 3 brothers: Ashley, NC and Kirtz; and 1 great-grandchild: Reid Chason Bass. Flora is survived by her 6 sons and 1 daughter: Newberry Jr. (Deborah), Mike (Vicki), Anthony (Cinda), Myron (Connie), Byron (Donna), of Clinton; Scott of Raleigh; and Karen Bass Driskill (Randy) also of Clinton.

In addition to raising her children and watching her family grow, Flora loved to grow a garden. Whether it was the flowers in her yard, vegetables in her garden or tending the prayer garden at Mount Gilead Baptist Church, Flora cared for her plants with love and devotion second only to the nurturing love she always showed to her family. She was a member of Mount Gilead for more than 60 years, where she served as a Sunday School teacher, sang in the choir, and enjoyed providing fresh flowers for worship from her yard. Funeral service will be held Saturday, October 18, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. at Mount Gilead Baptist Church, followed by interment in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends Friday, October 17, from 6:00 until 9:00 p.m. at Mount Gilead Baptist Church, and other times at the home. Flowers are welcome, as are contributions to her church or the charity of your choice.
