Johanna Berta Bassen (Kuhn), 90 of Wolfville, passed away suddenly on October 8, 2021 in the Valley Regional Hospital. Born in Neu Tarutino, Moldova; she was the youngest daughter of the late Robert and Helene (Sucko) Kuhn.
Johanna was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. She loved her family dearly and upon her retirement, Johanna moved to Wolfville with her husband Adolf.

They were an integral part of this community which they treasured greatly.
She took great pride in making and keeping a comfortable home. In her earlier years, she cherished the time spent preparing special meals and the baking for all family occasions, and up to the time of her death, Johanna always enjoyed and looked forward to her weekly ironing.
She is survived by her daughter, Heidemarie (Jürgen) Halbe, Germany; son, Werner (Glen Gray), Wolfville; five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents, Johanna was predeceased by her husband, Adolf; son, Erich; sisters, Lilli (Schelm) and Eleonore (Hildebrand); and brother, Robert.
