Sharlyn Bliss Bassett

Franklin, Idaho - - - Sharlyn B. Bassett

Franklin - Sharlyn Bliss Bassett, our beautiful and loving mother-to-all passed away on April 1st 2011 after a valiant five-year fight with cancer. She was born to Sharon and Douglas Bliss on March 8th 1956 in Salt Lake City Utah. She was a warrior in pink. She married Bruce Bassett on July 12, 1975. They were sealed in the Logan temple on July 12, 1989.

Sharlyn loved traveling, cross-stitching, and taking lots of pictures of her family, especially her two grandsons. Sharlyn worked at The Center for Atmospheric Research at USU, which led to her job at Campbell Scientific where she was employed for the last 15 years. Despite all her health difficulties, she always kept a positive attitude and worked full-time until the end of last year, when she was too weak to continue. The family would like to thank all the employees at Campbell's for supporting Sharlyn through this difficult time in her life.

Our hearts are broken as we have lost a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a best friend. As each of her sons married, she regarded each new wife as a daughter, never an "in-law." Sharlyn had a strong testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She knew that God lives and that she will be with her husband and children again someday. She loved life. You knew it when you met her. Her positive attitude was contagious and her smile will never be forgotten. Of all the things Sharlyn enjoyed, it was easy to see that her grandbabies were at the top of her list. Jackson Cody and Carter Dee were so loved by their Grandma Bassett. She made sure that they knew it, and she looks forward to meeting them in heaven when she can play with them the way she wishes.

Sharlyn is survived by her sweetheart Bruce, sons: Matthew (Nicole), Cody (Michelle), Drew (Dixie), grandsons: Jackson and Carter, mother Sharon Bliss, brother Michael (Shelly), sister Kathy (Jay) Keller, mother in-law Betty Bassett, brother-in-law Mark (Linda), and sister-in-law Diane Bassett. She was preceded in death by her father Douglas, sister Karri Bliss, father-in-law Dee Bassett, and sister in-law Becky Bassett.
