June 4, 1966 - May 2, 2010

Nancy Diane Bass, age 43, died at home on Sunday, May 2, 2010 after a prolonged battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).

Born June 4th, 1966 in Shawnee, Ok, to Kenneth and Elaine Holder, she attended Shawnee schools and graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1988. On August 6th, 1988 Nancy married Brian Bass, and moved to Carrollton, TX.

Nancy will be especially remembered for her unfaltering faith in Jesus Christ, and her desire to put God first in everything. Her many friends, students and fellow teachers will remember her as a dedicated, caring and loving teacher and friend.

Survivors include husband Brian Bass, children Michael (14) and Carolyn (12); parents Kenneth and Elaine Holder, and brothers Brian Holder, Dwight Holder, and Roger Holder.
