Obituary 

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee The desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. 

Psalm 37:4-5 

On the morning of March 20, 2021 at 5:30 a.m. an angel came silently into the room of Mrs. Deloise Barber at the Laurels of Chatham in Pittsboro, NC and took our loved one away. She is ever near us though unseen. There is no death, the Giver just claimed back his loved one unto Himself. Deloise, better known to her family and friends as mama, grandma, Lois, Aunt Lois, and so many other names that she would answer to. 

She was born into the family of the late Milton and Channie B. Marsh in Chatham County on November 28, 1928. She was one of ten children. 

She attended Chatham County Public Schools. During early childhood, Deloise became a member of Centennial A.M.E.

On December 20, 1946 she was married to the late Sam Junior Barber and they were happily married for fifty-seven years. To this beautiful union four children were born, Louvenia, Louis, Clarice (deceased) and Milton Frederick (deceased).
