“My sister and only sibling, Dianne Lynne Sprinces Bass, aged 76, died peacefully in her sleep on March 29th. She had been struggling with failing health. Dianne grew up in Philadelphia. She was fun, smart, excellent with games and loved her kitty cats ,even the outdoor cats that lived at the front door in a warm box. Her backyard was her nirvana. She fed every animal that visited her private woods, even Turkey Vultures! These birds imprinted on my sister. Neighbors, yes neighbors would see Turkey Vultures hanging out on the Bass roof.  Their wildlife bill was outrageous! That was my sister’s passion. 

Her joy was her relationship and love for her grandson, Larson.  My sister is also survived by Steven William Bass, her husband of 54 years, Renee, her daughter and Larson’s mom, Michael, her son, and cousins and dear friends.” 

— Jackie Sprinces Wong

May Dianna’s memory be a blessing. Hamakom y’nachem – comfort and strength to Jackie and her family and to Steven, Renee, Michael and Larson.
