Barbara D. Bass, age 80 of Winchester, passed away on Friday, December 20, 2019 at Elk River Health and Rehabilitation of Winchester. A native of Franklin County, she was born on July 23, 1939 in Winchester to the late Edwin Dean and Lillie Josephine (White) Farris. Barbara was a graduate of Manchester Central High School, serving as a majorette as well as secretary of her class. Before her retirement, Barbara was employed as a LPN in the healthcare industry, working as a school nurse as well as for home health. With such a caring and nurturing nature, she was a Girl Scout Leader and a Den Mother for the Boy Scouts, coach of the Bass Bees Softball team, and in her later years, she took care of everyone she could. Barbara was of the Southern Baptist Faith and attended Broadview Baptist Church and Oaklawn Baptist Church, and always enjoyed helping with Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. She enjoyed painting, making crafts, baking, cooking, camping, and spending time with her church family, but most of all, Barbara loved spending time with her family especially her grandchildren. Her family will remember her contagious laughter as well as her beautiful smile. In addition to her parents, Barbara was preceded in death by her son, Tim Wiser; and brothers, Eddie Farris and Larry Farris. She is survived by her loving daughters, Kim (Kevin) Slayton of Winchester, and Traci (Phil) Henderson of Winchester; grandchildren, Kyle Commons, Kandace Scoggins, Michael Henderson, Casey Jackson, Kurt Jackson, and Kelsea Stewart; great-grandchildren, Klaudia Brooke Jackson, Sadie Jo Stewart, Kora Jane Stewart, Slayton Jace Stewart, Alivia June Scoggins, Adalynn Jackson, Alanna Jackson, and Caden Jackson; and sister-in-laws, Dewanna Farris and Faye Massey.
