Wendy Bassett's Obituary
Our Wendy Bassett passed away on September 17, 2022 while traveling in Italy with her husband Rick Bassett.
Even though Wendy left us too soon we are blessed with her memories and will cherish them always. Wendy loved traveling the world. She shared her adventures with her friends and family. She was a beloved wife, incredible mother and the best Ra Ra to her grandchildren.
She leaves behind her husband, Rick Lewis Bassett, daughters Candice Tucker (Michael Tucker) and Vanessa Horsley (Justin Horsley). She also has three sweet grandchildren Lynlee, Cora and Mason Tucker. We cannot forget her love for animals and her precious furry babies that will miss her dearly Chloe, Mug's and the grumpy cat Olivia. Wendy was born on April 12, 1955 in Peoria, Illinois. Daughter of Ruth Naomi (Wolf) Kratzer and Phillip Judson Kratzer. Wendy's brother Gary Kratzer (Pam Kratzer) resides in Princeville, Illinois. Her brother Phillip Kratzer preceded her death.
Wendy was loved by many and we hope you can celebrate her life and memory on October 6, 2022 at Mt. Zion United Methodist church at 2pm, 19600 Zion Ave, Cornelius, NC 28031. Reception will follow at the Cornelius Crafty Burger.
Wendy had impeccable taste. She dressed with LOTS of color. Her favorite color was purple. In honor of her outstanding life we ask you to add a vibrant shade to your ensemble. Purple flair will be provided at the service. Thank you.
James Funeral Home is serving the family.
