Nancy McGuire Bassinger passed away peacefully in her sleep, on

will be November 29, from 9:00-11:00 at Sneed Funeral Chapel in
Lampasas, Texas. Graveside services will be held after the visitation
at 11:15 at Oak Hill Cemetery in Lampasas.
Mrs. Bassinger was born on May 13, 1935, in Lampasas, Texas. Her
parents were Lois Goodwin McGuire and William Raymond McGuire. Her
brother Billy and her sister Joann predeceased her. She is survived by her
sister Betty O’Neal and Marian Hatcher.
Nancy was a long time employee of Lutcher Stark High School, then West
Orange Stark High School. Her greatest joy was her family, and she was
married for 60 years to the late Roy Dexter Bassinger. She is survived by
her three daughters and their husbands, Suzanne Albonetti (Julius) of
Houston, Julie Graham (Matt) of Arvada, CO and Pat Poet (Butch) of Red
Lion, PA. She has four grandsons (Adam, David, Christopher and
Michael), and 5 great-grandchildren.
Nancy’s smile, sense of humor and joyfulness will be greatly missed by all
who knew her.
One of the greatest passions of Nancy’s life was reading, something she
shared with her sisters and passed on to her daughters. She was always
to be found with a book in her hands. In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to the Orange Public Library in Orange, Texas. Their address is 220
N. 5th St., Orange, TX. The phone number is 409-883-1086.
