Cynthia Bass Obituary
July 19, 1963 - November 25, 2015
Cynthia Mae Bass, of Lake County, passed away on Wednesday, November 25 at the young age of 52.
The daughter of Thomas and Shirley Bass, Cynthia was born and raised in Merced, CA and graduated Merced High School in 1981. Shortly after the birth of her two children, Allie and Nick, the family relocated to Lake County where Cynthia graduated from Mendocino College with her Associates Degree in Child Development. She then began her fulfilling career of teaching preschool. Cynthia helped so many children of all ages, even outside of school. Her door and her heart were always open to friends and family. Teaching was her calling in life and her greatest passions included sailing with her fiance Scott, listening to music, visiting Shelter Cove and sitting on her deck watching "the diamonds dance on Clear Lake." She is survived by her children Alicia and Nicholas Schell, her mother, Shirley Bass, her siblings Mike and Yvette Bass and many other relatives and friends that will miss her greatly. A Memorial to celebrate her life will be held on Saturday, December 19 at High Noon at the Lakeport Yacht Club adjacent to Lakeport Library Park. For more information, Contact Mary Bass at 209-617-4481.

My deepest condolences goes out to the family and friends. God promises us one day soon that he will rescue those taken by death. May we all find just a little relief in knowing this. But it is still not easy to not be sad. Hang in there please. (Proverbs 24:11)

Cynthia was so loved were we worked. She was the Director at Robinson Rancheria Preschool and I was one of her teachers. She was a lot of fun to work with. She often spoke of her children and Scott. She will be sadly missed.

Cynthia was my sons God mother and when asked she cried like it was a privilege to be asked, the privilege was her saying yes. I asked her because she had a way of communicating with him the importance of trying and learning from failures and successes. Gave him self esteem when he was down as well as going to lunch when they were needing to talk. She taught him many things he will carry for life.though hers was cut short she had a huge impact on the lives she touched, I will miss her, she will be missed by all the young ones she helped and guided. Her legacy lives on in her beautiful children and the others she helped. She is surely shining and looking down on us all with the love she gave so freely. Yes Cynthia will be missed.

Cynthia was my son Rande Jacks god mother. I asked her because he held her in very high esteem. She was there for him when he needed what only she could give him, comfort, advice, motivation, self esteem, she was wise and loving always and took him to museums, showed him he is valuable and loved him. We love her and miss her. And all her works with youth. Will live on in them. I know God is holding her in his loving arms and telling her what a wonderfull job she did on earth though her time. Was short it was memorable to say the least, just look at her children and the beautiful job she did with them. Goodbye friend.
