Charlotte Anne Barry peacefully passed away at her home surrounded by family on May 4th, 2024. This beautiful, two year old, baby girl was born on May 21st, 2021 in Beulaville, NC, to her beloved parents, Joe Barry and Megan Tyler-Barry. Charlotte was born into a wonderfully crazy family that already included 5 siblings that loved her like no other. Char Char SuperStar was the perfect completion.

For 20 months, Charlotte fought the hard fight against Neuroblastoma and did this with such courage and a constant smile. She was a true hero to her parents, siblings, and community.  Charlotte lit up every room she entered and showed everyone around what it takes to be a brave warrior. Her contagious laugh, spunky personality, and sweet smile inspired so many to find joy, even on the toughest of days.

Charlotte was happiest when she was with her siblings; Madi, Maverick, Lainey, Jack and Parker. They gave Charlotte strength and filled her life with joy. Her siblings brought her so much light to all of the darkness.

Charlotte had a great love for dance. Going to Dance Class was always the highlight of her week. She made so many friends that loved to make her laugh. To witness this, filled your heart with pure happiness. Her loving teachers, Stacie Dawson and Saedi Jenkins, were two of her most favorite people. Char learned so many of her dance moves from them and cherished every second that she had at The Studio Dance Center. Besides dance class, she could often be found running the halls of Maynard Children's Hospital, showing off her latest dance moves to all of the doctors, nurses, and staff members.

Charlotte underwent many treatments during her battle with Neuroblastoma. She received incredible care from many brilliant doctors at Maynard Children's Hospital, Duke Children's Hospital and CHOP. Her primary hospital, being Maynard Children's Hospital, was full of remarkable caregivers that constantly gave love and the best care. Char's entire medical team became part of her family. She knew everyone there, loved walking the halls during treatment, and visits with her friends at the hospital. Charlotte was given the title, Playroom Manager of KISU. She always enjoyed going to the playroom and picking out toys to play with each day she was there.

In Charlotte's final months, she was cared for by 3HC Hospice. With their help, Charlotte and her siblings were able to enjoy a fun experience at The Great Wolf Lodge. To spend time as a family on vacation was something they didn't think they would get to experience. Charlotte's weekly visits from her compassionate and loving nurse, Mackenzie Sasnett, were filled with so much wholesome play time. 3HC truly went above and beyond in all of their care for sweet, Char Char SuperStar.
