Obituary

Marcie Bassett passed away Sunday, June 7, 2026 at age 71 at her farm in Bloomingdale, GA. It was not sudden, it was

peaceful. Marcie had a very fulfilling life. She excelled academically, professionally and personally. When she left

pharmaceutical sales after nursing she started Fellowship Farm in Millbrook, NY later relocating to Wellington, FL.

She boarded horses and taught scores of children how to ride. The name Fellowship Farm was derived from her Father's

yacht 'The Fellowship' on which she and Thomas were married as it cruised up the Hudson River 44 years ago next

month.

Marcie continued showing and competing herself and training her students till she and the horses retired from

competition a dozen years ago when she and Thomas relocated the farm to Bloomingdale (Savannah) to live out their

years. It was then that Marcie started breeding and showing their English Bulldogs. One, Demon, which she co-owned

with her friend Julie went on to be Best of Breed at Westminster in 2017. Along the way she surfed the waters of the

Atlantic, snow skied the mountains of the East and West, ran marathons, biked through Banff in Canada, the Cotswolds in

England, hiked mountains in Tennessee, rode horseback in Hawaii and through the fields of France on her way to Paris,

toured Italy and went on safari in Africa. It was truly a life of adventure. Marcie was truly liked and loved and will be

remembered and missed by all that knew her.

In addition to her husband Thomas, she is survived by her sister Jacqui Reiss and her daughter Melanie.
