Artis Bassett, 95
LAKELAND - Our loving mother, Artis Bassett, departed from this life on March 20, 2014, into the arms of her heavenly father at the age of 95, due to natural causes.
Her passion in life was her children and living a Christian life. Her professional commitment was to the hard of hearing community while operating her business, Artis Bassett Hearing Aid, in Lake Wales, Florida, until her retirement at the age of 84. She was a member of the Florida Society of Hearing Healthcare Professionals since 1968.
In lieu of flowers, Artis requested that any donations be made to the Florida School of Preaching, 1807 South Florida Avenue, Lakeland, Florida 33803-2653.
She is survived by her children, Preston Craft (Sharon Craft) and Melissa Craft Lyons and a granddaughter, Kayla N. Johnson (CJ Johnson).
Preston and Melissa would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all friends and church family who have offered their support with cards and well wishes throughout the past several years. Special thanks to Betty and Sam Bolding for their cards and Jim Turner for the almond joy and buttermilk visits.
There will be a celebration of life at the home of her daughter, Melissa Craft, on April 26, 2014, from 11 AM to 2PM.
