Lois Hay Bassett
Lois Hay Bassett, beloved mother, grandmother, great and great-great grandmother. She lived her life devoted to the Lord first and her family and all she met second. She worked in Park View Baptist Church, worked in and attended Lakewood Baptist and Ephesus Baptist Church over the span of years. She provided flowerts for the Sunday worship services until her florist shop was closed in 1983. Her home, her table, and her heart were open to all. "In as much as you have done this to the least of my brethren, you have done this unto me" sayeth the Lord. We thank God for her life, her love and the 92 years he allowed us to have her. In Christ, Rev. Lacy and Novaline Bassett, The Ross Family, The Coles Family, and The Bills Family.
