Nancy Basnett Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Aria Cremation Service and Funeral Home - Preston Road on Dec. 18, 2025.
Nancy R. Basnett, 74, of Dallas, Texas, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025. Born on June 28, 1951, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Nancy lived a life defined by devotion, kindness, and a deep love for her family.
After earning her degree in accounting, Nancy began a long and successful career that spanned more than three decades with Texas Instruments. Following a brief hiatus, she continued her professional journey at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where her diligence and reliability earned her the respect of all who worked alongside her.
Family was always at the heart of Nancy's life. When her parents required care, she selflessly moved into their home to support them through their later years. She extended that same love and dedication to her husband, Brett Basnett, her stepdaughter and grandchildren, and to her siblings-Judy Jeronimus, John Robinson, and Peggy Robinson-who survive her.
Encouraged by her sister, Nancy explored much of the world and loved sharing stories from her travels. At home, she found joy in the company of her beloved horses and dogs, and she often unwound by watching the Investigative Discovery channel.
Nancy's compassion, loyalty, and sense of duty will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched.
