Barbara left this earth ready to give up the fight of mental illness, and partly due to the mental health system that fails so many unfortunate people. She was a certified dental assistant, a profession that she loved. Her warm and witty rapport with patients always put them at ease. She was dearly loved by many with her warm compassion and huge heart. Her love was pure with the best intentions. She was passionate about her music, her artistry, her Hollywood trivia, and her four legged friends. She was a wonderful mother to her son, who meant the world to her.
Those left to cherish her memory are son, Aaron Uzzell of Charlotte; mother, Shirley Atkinson; sisters, Valerie Wiebler and Jackie Armstrong; many nieces and nephews; and her partner, Teresa Moreno.
A service to celebrate her life will be held at 2 pm on Monday, March 3, 2014 at Harry & Bryant, “Chapel in the Oaks”, 500 Providence Rd., Charlotte. The family will receive friends from 1-1:45 pm prior to the service at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Charlotte Behavioral Health Center, 501 Billingsley Rd., Charlotte, NC 28211, or the Humane Society of Charlotte, 2700 Toomey Ave., Charlotte, NC 28203.
