Nina Fallin Obituary
December 27, 1950 – January 29, 2026
Nina Fallin, a devoted educator and the heart of her family, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2026, at the age of 75.
Born on December 27, 1950, Nina spent her life sharing her passion for the past with the future. She was a beloved history teacher at Arkadelphia High School, where she spent decades inspiring students with her stories and her genuine love for the craft of teaching. To Nina, her classroom was more than a job; it was a calling, and she remained a proud Badger long after her retirement.
While she loved history, Nina's greatest legacy is her family. She was the steady hand and the warm smile at every gathering. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, Billy Ray Fallin, who passed away in 2017, as well as her parents.
Nina's spirit lives on through the family she adored:
Children: Her daughter, Shelley Davidson, and husband Chris; and her son, Joey Fallin.
Grandchildren: Cori Davidson; Nicki Palmer and husband Aaron; and Dylan Fallin and wife Aleah.
Great-Grandchildren: Her pride and joy, Levi Fallin, Eli Fallin, Abe Fallin and Murphy Gibbons.
She will be remembered for her sharp intellect, her unwavering kindness, and the way she made every family member feel like the center of her world.
Graveside service is scheduled for 11:00am Sunday, February 1, 2026 at Rest Haven Cemetery in Arkadelphia, Arkansas under the direction of Herndon-Fuqua Funeral Homes- Gurdon.
