Joseph Lee Barber
July 31, 1947 - January 28, 2023

Joseph Lee Barber, 75, of West End, NC passed away on Saturday, January 28, 2023 at his residence.

Joe was born July 31, 1947 in Pinehurst, NC to the late William Tilman Barber and the late Eula Mae Layton Barber, he was one of thirteen children.

In addition to his parents, Joe was preceded in death by his siblings, Eula Mae Hammond, Robert Layton Barber, William Claude Barber, John Washington Barber, Charles David Barber, Raymond Mitchell Barber, Peggy Ann Tedder, and Alvin Floyd Barber.

Joe was devoted to serving his country and community. He demonstrated this through his service in the U.S. Army as a combat veteran during the Vietnam War and by working as both a Pinehurst Police Officer and Fire-Fighter. He grew up on a tobacco farm and continued throughout his life to enjoy growing vegetables in his garden. He like to sit on the front porch and watch traffic go by while enjoying an endless cup of black coffee, and watching all the birds and squirrels he fed play about on his property. His primary focus in life was always loving his family.
