Barbara is survived by her husband of 48 years Jimmy, son John and wife Michelle of Homer, grandsons Jackson and Charlie Monzingo, older sister Donna Waltz and husband Phil of Ruston, niece Laura Hawkins of Ruston and husband Kevin and son Henry, younger brother David Fallin and wife Jana of Manhattan, Kansas, nephews Daniel Fallin of Manhattan, Kansas and wife Jennifer and daughter Lillian, Benjamin Fallin of Dallas, Texas and wife Meghan, sister in love Virginia Simms of Haynesville and husband William "Billy", nephew Lee Simms of Stonewall, nieces Jennifer Payton of Minden and husband Ron and son Reace, Gracie Rister of Frierson and husband Michael and children Ryleigh and Will and great niece Katherine Tromberg of Shreveport and husband Jordan. Barbara will be joining her parents, James and Lilian Fallin and her in laws James and Mary Virginia "Mitz" Monzingo in heaven. She will be missed by many cousins, family, and special friends.
Services were held at First Baptist Church Homer at 2 pm Thursday March 11, with visitation from noon - 2 pm with gravesides at St. Rest. Barbara has been a member of First Baptist Homer since 1973, where she played piano and organ as well as teaching children's choir and a women's Sunday school class.
Barbara taught in Claiborne Parish for 20 years then went on to the central office where she was a supervisor for 17 years. Barbara retired in 2010 to enjoy being a grandmother to her only child John's two sons Jackson and Charlie. Barbara enjoyed attending their baseball games where she was always found cheering for both teams and wanting them to "all have a good time". She was a huge fan of high school sports while always stressing the importance of an education first.
Barbara and her 3 closest friends were affectionately called the Golden Girls. Barbara's role was Dorothy, always the quick-witted straight talker. Barbara was also known for her love of hats in all forms. Women attending the service are encouraged to wear hats in her honor.
