Barbara Marie Whichard

Barbara Marie Whichard, 75, of Cameron, passed away on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at Dahlia Gardens in Aberdeen, North Carolina.

Born on October 8, 1950, in Wadesboro, she was the daughter of James and Mary Jacobs Lee. Barbara was known as a true “jack of all trades,” especially skilled in sewing and tailoring, and gifted with many creative talents. She loved tending to her flowers, listening to music, and dancing. Her playful spirit made her easy to love and impossible to forget.

Marie will be remembered as strong-willed, fun-loving, and with a silly side. She was hardworking and never without a spark. Above all, she loved her family fiercely. Her smile and sense of humor will always be cherished. We miss you so much, Mama. We will see you later, alligator.

Marie was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Joseph Benjamin Whichard.

She is survived by her daughters, Deanna Buchanan of Apex and Brittany Whichard (Anthony Locklear) of Roxboro, along with her three grandchildren, Pryce Buchanan, Charlie Locklear, and Hazel Locklear.

A private memorial service will be held by the family.
