Obituary of Deborah Snoddy Bass

Deborah (Snoddy) Bass, 60, of Gallatin,TN, passed away 1/6/2021. Deborah was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend. She loved deeply and broadly. She lived to care for others. She had the most beautiful smile that could light up your soul. Deborah became physically disabled in 1998, but this did not stop her from making a difference in this world. God had a purpose for her that she found and lived out for others. Her most important goal in life was to make sure everyone heard the word of God and became a believer in Jesus.
