Barbara Milner, 55, of Charlotte, NC passed away peacefully on Friday, November 25, 2011. She was born on December 30, 1955, daughter of the late Dr. Lowell Ellis Brittain and Katherine May Brittain.
Barbara was a native of Charlotte. She graduated from Charlotte Country Day School and attended North Carolina State University. After college Barbara worked for Carl Walker until she married and had her children. Barbara’s first priority was her family, and she was a loving and devoted mother to Britt, Frank and Carson. There are no words to describe how much she will be missed by all who knew her. She was the most caring and selfless person who always maintained a positive attitude, even during difficult circumstances. She never met a stranger; her endearing personality was beloved by everyone. Barbara was a breast cancer survivor since 2006, and in the past year valiantly battled melanoma with her usual courage and grace, reaching out to others fighting cancer and offering encouragement.
Barbara had a deep and abiding faith in God which gave her strength; this defined her and reflected outwardly to everyone privileged to know her. She was greatly loved and will be in our hearts forever.
Barbara is survived by her three children, Stuart Brittain Milner, Franklin Murray Milner, and Katherine Carson Milner; sister, Katherine Brittain Brewer; brother-in-law, Walter Brewer, Sr.; nephew, Walter Brewer, Jr.; niece, Sarah Brewer Grein; as well as many wonderful family members by marriage to Stuart Milner.

Funeral services will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at Ebenezer United Methodist Church, 120 Belmont-Mt. Holly Rd., Belmont, NC. Reverend C.B.
