Margaret Jeanette Bassett

Margaret Jeanette Bassett, 88, was born November 29, 1937, in Talladega County, Alabama, and passed away April 16, 2026. A resident of Childersburg, Alabama, Margaret will be remembered with deep respect and enduring gratitude by all who knew and loved her.

Margaret’s steady devotion to faith and community was reflected in her membership at Mountainview Baptist Church. In the quiet, meaningful rhythms of daily life, she found joy and purpose in quilting and knitting—hands that created warmth and comfort, stitch by stitch, for the people and moments she cherished.

Margaret is survived by her sons, Dale Bassett (Tina) and Scott Bassett (Terry); her sister, Denise Barnett; her grandchildren, Josh Bassett, Amber Zettler, Cassady Cloud, Drake Bassett, and Caleb Bassett; and her great-grandchildren, Lola Claire, Eli Zettler, Zeke Zettler, Enler Cloud, and Elias Cloud.

Margaret was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, James “Buddy” Bassett; her father, JO Barnett; her mother, Irene Barnett; her sister, Mary Ellis; and her brothers, Jackie Barnett and Larry Barnett.

Visitation will be held at Curtis and Son Funeral Home, 1099 1st St NW, Childersburg, Alabama 35044, on April 20, 2026, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, with the Funeral Service to follow at 12:00 pm at the same location. Interment will take place at Greenhill Memorial Gardens, Old Sylacauga Highway, Childersburg.
