WMU leader Bass died

Former Arizona Woman's Missionary Union leader Claudia Lynn Bass, 61, died March 8 in Phoenix.

A memorial service was held March 11 at Love Baptist Church, Phoenix, where she was member.

From 1996 to 2001, Bass served as the president of Woman's Missionary Union in Arizona. In 2001, she became Arizona's WMU executive director and served for three years.

She and her husband, Steve, served as Mission Service Corps volunteers with the North American Mission Board.

"Her life revolved around missions and her work with children," said Terrie Sullivan, Arizona WMU executive director. "She had a missions' heart."

Bass sought creative ways to encourage missions giving and education. Her personalized license plate with its acronym for "missions lady" would draw questions. Summer camps were opportunities for the children to experience missions.

"I appreciated her love for missions," echoed Dan Coker, senior pastor at Love Baptist, also noting her work with preschoolers.

Bass recently helped Love Baptist "to dream the dream" that resulted in an enclosed preschool playground.

"I appreciate her challenge to us all to remain missions-minded," Coker said.
