Thelma Rasmussen Bassett Hansen, 81, died Oct. 9, 1999, at the Sunshine Terrace in Logan, Utah. Thelma was born in Preston, Idaho, on Aug. 9, 1918, to Effie and Rasmus Rasmussen. She married Homer Bassett of Lago, Idaho, at 15, and they had seven children. They were divorced after 23 years of marriage. Homer passed away December 1989. Thelma married Dallas A. Hansen of Grace, Idaho, Nov. 20, 1962. The marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple. Dallas passed away April 17, 1997. Thelma was raised in Mink Creek, Idaho, and attended school in Thatcher. She was active in her church and held several positions over the years. She had a great love of genealogy and spent many years searching her ancestral line. In her early years of marriage, she worked at Hill Air Force Base and sold cosmetics for House of Stuart. She educated herself through her love of reading. Thelma was a strong and determined woman. She raised her children with an iron hand but a loving heart. Her wonderful sense of humor paved the road of hardship and softened the blows of disappointment in her life. She was a survivor. We will meet her with all our hearts!
