Wilda Ann Brannon Bass

Boiling Springs, SC – Ann Brannon Bass, wife of the late Sam Bass, died Saturday, March 5, 2022, from Covid pneumonia at the age of 85.

A native of Spartanburg, she was the daughter of the late Floyd Brannon and the late Gladys Brannon.

Surviving are her five children: Alan and his wife Julia of Myrtle Beach; Robert of Boiling Springs; Betty and her husband John of Reidville; Suzanne and her fiancé Tim of Boiling Springs; and Jeanne and her husband Scott of Pauline. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren: Bryan and Michael Coan of Boiling Springs, Melissa Adams of Boiling Springs and Chris Roberts of Columbia, and Tessa, Brandon and Juston Hughey of Pauline; and eight great grand-children: Marissa, Haley, Jordan, Samantha, Evie, Emilia, Harper, and Avery; and many nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her loving sister-in-law, Carolyn Brannon of Spartanburg, and brother-in-law James Bass of Mississippi.

Ann was predeceased by a brother, Paul “Sonny” Brannon, a sister, Ellnora “Kitty” Brannon Wyatt, both of Spartanburg; and five babies who are in heaven.
