The Dallas Morning News, March 20, 2013

Gloria Bassett, retired Dallas teacher and volunteer to women’s ministries,



died at 82
Gloria Sanford Bassett was devoted to people, whether she was teaching a first-grader to read or helping a parolee start a new life. She taught for 27 years in Dallas and Austin before retiring to volunteer for ministries that help women. Bassett, 82, died Saturday of complications of a brain tumor at Baylor University Medical Center. Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at González Funeral Home in Mesquite. She will be buried in Grove Hill Memorial Park. “She had a heart to help people who had any type of problem,” said her sister, Mary McGill of Irving. Bassett was the fourth generation in her family to be born in Dallas, where she graduated from Crozier Tech High School in 1949. She received her bachelor’s degree from what is now the University of North Texas and her master’s degree in early childhood education from Texas Woman’s University. Bassett was a stay-at-home mom and worked in an office before beginning her teaching career at Stephen F. Austin Elementary in Dallas in 1969. “She always taught first grade,” her sister said. “She loved first grade. She could teach any child to read, even children with really bad disabilities. She was amazing.” In 1976, Bassett transferred to O.M. Roberts Elementary, where she taught until joining the faculty at St. Peters Academy. In 1985, she moved to Austin, where she taught at Bryker Woods and Zavala elementary schools. In 1991, she returned to the Dallas district, where she taught at Robert E. Lee Elementary until 1994, when she started teaching at Hutchins Baptist Academy, a private school in Hutchins. Bassett retired from teaching in 1996 and focused her attention to ministries that help women. Much of her volunteering was for Reconciliation Outreach, but included service for Life Net Ministries and Grace and Mercy Ministries. “She taught classes and she tutored kids after school,” her sister said. “She had Bible classes for the women.” Bassett helped women who had been to prison, had mental illness or were homeless to get clothing and jobs, whatever their need might be. “She helped the mothers any way she could,” McGill said. With Grace and Mercy Ministries, Bassett visited women in prison, driving the Gatesville prison complex many times while she was still able to drive long distances, her sister said. “She worked with women on death row,” McGill said. “There was one woman there, she tried and tried to get her lawyers…to get out of the death penalty. “She prayed with them, helped them with Bible studies.” When Bassett could no longer drive to distant prisons, she worked with women incarcerated in Dallas. “If they got out, she would help them get housing, clothing, talk to them,” her sister said. Bassett was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma and the Daughters of the American Revolution. In addition to her sister, Bassett is survived by her husband, Charles Bassett of Dallas; a son, Steve Griffith of Dallas; daughter, Jan Bassett of Dallas; a stepson, Corky Bassett of Seattle; and three stepdaughters, Lori Bassett Barndel of Seattle, Barbara Bassett Williams of Seattle and Lisa Carmickle of Lubbock.

(Charles Lamar Bassett married Jeanne Learetta Landis 3 Sep 1954 in King County, Washington. They had Barbara Lynn Bassett, born 14 Jun 1955 (TBI) in Dallas County, Texas, Lora Anne Bassett, born 8 Mar 1957 (TBI) in Dallas County, Texas, and Charles David Bassett, born 30 May 1958 (TBI) in Dallas County, Texas. Charles Lamar Bassett married (2) Gloria Mae Sanford. They had Jan Kay Bassett, born 25 Aug 1964 (TBI) in Dallas County, Texas.
