Kelly Bassett Obituary

Kelly M. Bassett 41, entered the kingdom of heaven on Thursday, March 24, 2011. She will be very deeply missed. Kelly's life passion was loving and following Jesus Christ. Her sincere faith, obedience, and devotion to the Lord has made a lasting, forever impact on the many lives she touched. She faithfully served in N.W. Bible Church's Women's Ministry as a valuable mentor and Women's Ministry Team Leader for many years. She enjoyed reading the Bible, journaling, being a friend/mentor, writing cards of encouragement, her bulldogs, and pictures of Jesus. But most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her precious family. She deeply loved and cared about her husband, Rick; her daughters, Megan and Allysia; son-in-law, Raul and four grandbabies. Kelly is also survived by her mother, Linda and Kirby Burson and her sister's family, Tracey, Esty and Nicholas Ramirez. A celebration of Kelly's life will be held on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 4:00 p.m., North West Bible Church, 889 W. Chapala Dr. in Tucson. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to North West Bible Church Benevolence Fund. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Avalon Chapel.

I am so sorry... words are not enough to share my saddened heart. I love you baby brother and I love your beautiful babies. I am here for you--- if you need me.

Kelly's Mom, Linda Burson, has been my best friend for over 20 years. During this time, I have been fortunate enough to get to know Kelly. She often brought Allysia and Megan with her to play with my daughter, Lisa. They had great times together at company picnics, the wild life zoo and other outings that we all went on when the girls were young. What I remember most about Kelly is how beautiful, smart and kind she was. Kelly was always there when her Mom needed her and she loved her family with her whole heart. I hope that is something you will all hold on to forever to help you through this sad and lonely time. My Prayers are with you all.

Rick, You don't know me but I met Kelly several years ago at my daughter's house...Jennifer Babler. She was such a beautiful person and I pray God gives you His peace, understanding and courage to go on through this most sorrowful time of your life. You have my most deepest, caring sympathy. My heart aches for you and your family. God bless. Carol and Larry Wright..Naples, Fl.

Is. 57:1 The righteous perish,
and no one ponders it in his heart;
devout men are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Is. 57:2 Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.

Rick,
There are no words to say how sorry we are for your loss. The obituary was 100% correct. How our hearts ache for you and for how we miss Kelly.
Love, Tom and Ann

Kelly will be missed by many. She was a "best friend" to several of us. She was respected, despite her young age. I cannot believe she is gone. Our prayers are with you, Rick, Megan, Allysia and Raul and your children.
