April 3, 1979 – Aug. 3, 2024
April Dawn Basinger, 45, of Bedford, passed away Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Columbus Regional Hospital.
She was born April 3, 1979, in Bedford, to Robert and Cecilia Jones Basinger. April attended Englewood School and the LARC Center. She was a member of Mundell Christian Church and the Flatwood Neighbors Club.
April loved music, dancing, singing, looking at photos, taking Snapchat photos, and spending time with friends and family. She was a social butterfly and could light up a room with her smile and sparkle in her eyes. She was happy all of the time, an angel. Her smile was contagious. She had pneumonia three times in 10 months, so she had been sick for a while. She had significant lung damage.
Surviving to cherish April’s memory is her sister, Grace (Tyson) George of Heltonville; nieces, Cheyan (Heath) Day of Bedford and Cassidy Clements of Heltonville; along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.
April was preceded in death by her parents and both sets of grandparents, Cecil and Elsie Jones and Benjamin and Agnes Basinger.
April’s life celebration will be held on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., at the Ferguson-Lee Chapel of Thorne-George Family Funeral Homes, Bedford, with Pastor Walter Hunter officiating. Cremation was chosen, and burial will follow at a later date. Visitation will also be on Wednesday, August 7, from 3:00 p.m. until the time of service at Ferguson-Lee Chapel.
