Barbara Hallman, a woman of many titles. Consisting of wife, sister, mother, nanny, and nanny darling was by far perfect in every category. Words can’t speak volumes to what she meant to everyone inside the family and outside. She was one to always look to help anyone in need. If she did for one she did for all. She was a true model of morals, self-respect, and how one should carry there self. Barbara Hallman was born on November 17, 1933 in the small city of Mart Texas. Later she met the man of her dreams , R.C. Hallman, and started a family by having two boys that she said were miracle babies. Randy Hallman the oldest, followed by Kevin Hallman. Her professions were in the cake industry and doing income taxes. She also held many positions at Belvue Baptist Church, were her husband R.C. was the pasture. Barbara was never one to want to do anything for herself if she could do for others instead. She truly was a woman perfected in the eyes of anyone that ever met her. Even in her last few days with us in this life she wanted to make sure everyone would be ok without her. She was a strong woman fighting every day just to make it to the next to watch her children and grandchildren succeed in life and become adult. Barbara, mother, nanny, nanny darling, you truly will be missed but definitely not forgotten. We love you with all the compassion and strength that you taught us to have.
