Mitchell Bass

BASS, Mitchell G., Sr., a retiree of Weirton Steel Corporation, entered into his eternal rest on Monday, Aug. 22, 2016.

He was born May 28, 1920, in Havana, Cuba to the late Antonio Elbert and Mary Pugh Bass.

Although Psalm 90:10 says that our days come to 70 years or 80 if our strength endureth, our heavenly Father graciously allowed him to be with us until the age of 96.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Antonio Bass and Bernice Bass; three children, Mitchell Bass, Jr., Diana Wilson, Cynthia Bass and a grandson, Robert Ali Bass.

He married the love of his life, Ethel Dameron Bass on March 11, 1948. The Lord blessed their union of 68 years with nine children. He leaves six children, Michael (Patrice) Christian of Pickerington, OH, Kareena Ashby Bass of Kennesaw, GA, Allura (Stefan, Sr.) Hargrove of Chicago, IL, Tony Bass, Attorney Meeta Bass and Crystal Bass, all of Steubenville, OH; and a host of grandchildren and great- grandchildren to cherish his memory. Mitchell’s devotion in life was his family. He took great pride in their accomplishments; his family is his legacy.

Family and friends  are invited to celebrate his life at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church located at 708 N. 5th Street, Steubenville on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016, from 10 a.m. until time of funeral services at noon.  Interment Union Cemetery.

Arrangements have been entrusted to The Vinson House of Mortuary.
