Barbarette was a longtime, faithful member of Meherrin Baptist Church where she served unselfishly in several capacities over the years. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Besides her parents, Barbarette was preceded in death by her son, George Stanton “Stan” Warren, and a grandson, Brandon Warren.

Left to cherish her memory is her devoted husband, George Clayton Warren, Jr.; her grandson, Tucker Warren and fiancé, Kasara Lear of Charlotte, NC; her sister, Judy B. Ward and husband, Jim of Ahoskie, NC; two brothers, Stanley Barnes and wife, Eileen of Murfreesboro, NC, and Don Barnes and wife, Judy of Pendleton, NC; a sister-in-law, Marianna B. Long and husband, Elbert of Conway, NC; and daughter-in-law, Michelle Warren of Murfreesboro, NC.

The family will receive friends on Friday, September 18, 2020, from 7-8:30 p.m. at Garrett-Sykes Memorial Chapel, Murfreesboro, NC, and other times at the home.
