BEVERLY BASDEN Obituary
illness. Born on June 24, 1935, in Dallas, TX, Beverly was a proud graduate of Adamson
High School and The University of North Texas.
Beverly dedicated much of her career to helping others as a Social Worker for Child
Protective Services, where her compassion and commitment made a lasting impact on
countless lives.
A passionate tennis player, Beverly spent many joyful afternoons on the courts with her
close-knit group of friends, fondly known as the 'tennis ladies,' at the Denton Country Club.
In addition to her love for tennis, she was an avid gardener with a remarkable green thumb.
Beverly is survived by her loving family: her daughter, Laura Basden Gist; her son, Bart
Basden, and his wife, Dawn; her cherished grandsons, Benjamin, Jack, and Sam. She
is also survived by her brother, Don Holmquest, and his wife, Ann.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jack Basden, sister Norma Sexton and parents
Sidney and Lillie Mae Holmquest.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Salvation Army of Denton
County in Beverly's memory.
At this time, no funeral services are planned.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
