Barbara Nell Duke Fallin, of Cullman, Alabama, was welcomed into heaven on Jan. 15, 2023, at the age of 75. Ms. Fallin was born in Randolph County, Alabama, on March 10, 1947, to Auther and Nellie Duke.

Ms. Barbara was a member of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Blountsville, Alabama, where she enjoyed worshiping her Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. She enjoyed cooking, liked to bake, and she canned vegetables. Barbara was a talented seamstress and she enjoyed crafting. She also gardened and raised chickens. Barbara enjoyed the handiwork of her Father and was particularly drawn to the beauty of flowers. She loved roses, with yellow roses being her favorite. Barbara was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and Maw Maw. She loved her family and they in turn cherished her.
