Mrs. Bastian was born on July 6, 1931, in Albany and was the daughter of Worth Jewell and Nellie Sadler Jewell, both deceased. She was also preceded in death by one sister, Juanice Herzing; and several nieces and nephews.

She also held various other physically demanding manual labor jobs. She completed a number of years in school and, later in life, she proudly received her G.E.D. She was a proud member of the City of Tifton's Citizen's Police Academy. She loved God and her country and her daughters were the most important part of her life.

Mrs. Bastian is survived by three daughters and one son-in-law, Sherry Bastian of Tifton, Nina Hubbard of Savannah and Becky and Chuck Henderson of Chula; two grandchildren and their spouses, Nikole and Scott Waldrep of Blue Ridge and Keith Hubbard of Athens; three step-grandchildren, Nikki Henderson, Carmen Henderson and Cody Henderson; three great-grandchildren, Brooke Waldrep, Lily Rose Waldrep and Scott Waldrep Jr.; four step- great-grandchildren, Connor Henderson, Ali Edney, Addison Mosley and Gaile Brayden; one sister, Nellie Ruth McElvy of Roanoke, Ala.; a special brother-in-law, Jim Herzing; and three nieces and nephews, Joel Denning and his wife, Jackie, Robin Wood and Joey Herzing.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the staff of Life Care Center in Fitzgerald and Palemon Gaskins Nursing Facility in Ocilla.
