Will Barber, the son of Ashley and Bernice Barber, was born on
February 28th, 1953. After a lengthy illness, the Lord saw fit to call him
home on January 16th, 2017.
Will grew up in Baltimore, MD and received his education in the Baltimore
City Public School System. After graduating from Carver High School,
Will served his country as a United States Marine from 1974 to 1976. After
returning from service, Will worked in the construction industry with his
father for many years. It was during this time Will married Katherine
(who preceded him in passing), or "Kate", as she was affectionately known.
At the time of his illness he was employed with Class Produce Group.
Will had a zest for life and would dance the night away when given the
chance. He loved to cook, read, watch his Westerns on GRIT t.v., playing
solitaire and shopping (he loved to dress). Two of his favorite musical
inspirations were Earth,Wind and Fire and the Temptations.
Will leaves a host of family and friends to cherish his memory: his mother,
Bernice (father Ashley preceded Will in 1993); two daughters, Troya
Watters and Tracey Anderson (from union with Leatrice Anderson); ten
grandchildren and one great-grandchild; sisters, Elzina McNeil and Elvona
Spriggs; brother-in-law, James McNeil Sr.; nephews, Lawrence Bolding and
James McNeil Jr.; nieces, Ailisa, Anisha, Laetitica, Andrea and Jeannette;
special cousins, Gregory, Ronald, Kim and John; best friend, Ronda; and
three companions, Oreo, Bear and Remy. Will was loved by all who knew
him and he will be missed by all.
