Margie Barr

April 7, 1932 — January 11, 2024

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Margie Louise Russell Barr on Thursday, January 11, 2024, at Woodhaven Assisted Living in Albemarle. Margie, 91, was born on April 7, 1932, in Concord, NC, to the late Sally Drake Russell and Bud Russell.

Margie was a dedicated spinner, having worked at Plant 2, Tuscarora, Kinley, and Locke Mills for many years. She found joy in her craft, creating beautiful crocheted and needlework pieces that showcased her talent and creativity. Margie had a special affinity for dolphins, marveling at these creatures that held a special place in her heart.

Her love for the outdoors was evident in her fondness for camping and fishing trips with both friends and family. Margie's warm spirit and caring nature left a lasting impact on all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Margie is preceded in death by her husband, Bill Barr, her brothers, and her parents.

She is survived by her daughters, Patricia Smith and Kathy Halloway; sons, Tim Barr, Bill Barr, and Michael Barr; sisters, Violet Russell, Faye Russell, and Helen Russell; 8 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.

The family will receive friends to celebrate Margie's life on Sunday, January 14, 2024, from 2:00-4:00 pm at Wilkinson Funeral Home. Let us join together to remember and honor Margie Louise Russell Barr, a loving woman whose memory will forever remain in our hearts. May she rest in eternal peace.
