Barbara Jean Faulconer, 91, of Nicholasville, Kentucky entered Eternal Life on June 28, 2025. She is survived by her husband Ted after 70 years of marriage. She is also survived by their son Joe and daughter Mary June Ball and grandchildren, Jennifer, Leah, Whitney, and Russell, and 6 great grandchildren.
She was born in Ashland, Kentucky to her parents, Charles and June Reliford who preceded her in death along with brothers, Junior and Paul and sister, Marlene.
She attended Eastern Kentucky University and graduated from Transylvania University. She received a master's degree in education from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. She taught in several grade schools in Kettering, Ohio, where three of her principals said she was the hardest working and most devoted teacher that they had ever had.
Her passion was her family. She loved every one of them so much and never forgot their birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and special events in their lives with cards and phone calls. Her grandchildren were the "light of her life."
Barbara's legacy will live on through the lives of those she touched and the love she gave. We will continue to feel her presence, her beauty, and her love.
Services are being held on Thursday, July 3rd at Clark Legacy Center-Brannon Crossing, 601 E. Brannon Rd., Nicholasville, Kentucky. Visitation will take place from 12:30 pm until 1:30 pm. Rev. Jerry Shepard will officiate her funeral, which will begin at 1:30 pm. Burial will follow at Blue Grass Memorial Gardens.

I found the following poem in a book of verse called "Angelsong" written by Ted's mother, Mary Faulconer. It seems so appropriate.

"Sleep waves engulf my soul - carry me out in the undertow.

Out where the tide is full & deep and sea dreams are trimmed with foam.

Where water nymphs sway in a ballet and I'm safe in slumber - home."

The picture is from May 1995 when Pat and I came back to Kettering to visit. It was always a joy to see them both.

Love and Prayers to you all.

Ted called Brad and I last night telling us that Barbara is at peace and has "gone home".

We were able to visit with them both a couple years ago. I reminded Barbara of various events that she and CWF did in Kettering, like Marion's Pizza kits as a fund raiser, bible studies, and making chicken casseroles for Mary June's wedding.

Though we live far away (Florida), they have been in our prayers, thoughts and calls. We are so sorry we are not able to join the family on Thursday to celebrate her life! We will be coming north this fall and shall see Ted then. Prayers are with you all!
