ALLISON BASSETT Obituary

BASSETT, Allison Age 37, of Watertown, died Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston, MA. Allison was the daughter of Edward C. Bassett, Jr. ("Ted") and the late Nancy Arone Bassett of Southborough, MA. She is survived by her brothers: elder, Andrew, his wife Elizabeth, and their four children, Jack, Abigail, Luke, and Brooks, from Clarendon Hills, IL; and younger, Christopher, from Boston. Born in Southborough, MA, Allison was an avid equestrian, photographer, and soccer player. She attended St. Marks School, then Boston College, where she travelled abroad to London and graduated with a degree in economics. Allison settled in Watertown post-graduation and formed a supportive community of friends and neighbors whom she loved to entertain. She began her career at Commonwealth Financial, then spent years as a project manager for Advisor 360 in Weston, where she again cultivated a strong network of friends and colleagues. "Alli," as she was known to friends and family, adored her niece and nephews and a close second was her beloved dog, Lola. Alli loved spending time with her family and friends and had a special place in her heart for Scraggy Neck Island on Cape Cod, where she spent her summers. Alli always had a smile and kind words for everyone in her life. She will be missed immensely. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Alli's alma mater, Boston College, on Friday, June 28, 2024, at 10:00AM, at St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish, 28 Commonwealth Ave., Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.

Words can´t express what a wonderful friend Alli was. She was kind, funny, and wise beyond her years (even as an 18 year old at BC). I can´t imagine the world without her in it. I´ll always remember how she couldn´t brighten even the darkest days. She had an amazing laugh; I hope I´ll never forget the sound of it. My deepest condolences to her family.

Everyone who knew Allison says loved her. She was the best person to work with - kind, funny, and most of all, a hard, competent worker who brought value in whatever role she was in. She was a team player, so supportive of others and will be terribly missed by the A360 team.

My condolences to the Bassett's. I'm sorry for your loss. I first met Alli at Boston College. She was always such a kind, earnest and thoughtful person and was part of a core friend group from BC who have kept in touch these last 19 years. Here are a few photos from our time together over those years. If not here, I'm happy she is with her mother.
