Dorothy Bass Obituary

We were classmates @ Jefferson and when my folks wanted to have a birthday party for me, Dottie's dad volunteered the club property in the mountains and we had boys and girls. My father was a big hit because he let the boys drive our car once we were out on that property. The guy who was related to the French mortuary family was also in our class. I moved back to WA state but was hired by APS and taught at Five Points. Dottie helped me move to the Gold Street Pueblo style apartments just north of University using her pick up truck. All the accolades in previous comments were 100% true and because once I was hired by DOD to teach then married an air force guy we lost touch because of many many moves Numerous times( before the internet I I tried to track her down, no luck until today 2023 (she would be 80 as am I) She was truly one of a kind friend and over these last 54 years I have thought of her and her kindness often. May she rest in peace, Pat Sheafe

I miss you more everyday Dot. I know it will get easier but it will never get better. I have so many funny memories of crazy stuff that happened to us!! I also have so many gifts you gave me that I look at everyday!! Oh what a Sister Friend you still are to me!!! Until we are together again...love you!!!

We rented Dottie's home while building ours in Forest Lakes. During the Missionary Ridge Fire evacuation in 2002, she offered her home to us that she recently moved into. She was an active member of the Upper Pine Fire Auxiliary and always ready to lend a helping hand. She loved animals and was a wonderful friend. She made sure her animals were taken care of knowing she wouldn't be able to care for them much longer.

Dottie, I didn't know you for long, but I will always remember you and your sweet, kind, compassion. Although I didn't get to meet you in person, I enjoyed our long distance phone conversations and emails. You gave me support and encouragement when I needed it most, and although our friendship was short I'm truly blessed to have known you. May you Rest In Peace, I'm sure Jeremiah was there to greet you in heaven. You will be missed, but I have peace knowing you are now in the loving arms of your Savior Jesus. Thank you for your love, friendship and grace from afar.

Sweet friend, I will miss our phone conversations and emails. I will miss you tremendously. You were a part of our family. We loved you dearly.
