PANTON — Barbara Anne Fuller, 81, passed away Wednesday, April 13, 2022, at her home in Panton. She was born on Dec. 21, 1940.

It is with great sadness that we now mourn the loss of this amazing woman. The daughter of a farmer and cattle hauler, her life of hard work and devotion to family was learned early on. She spent her 81 years working on a farm, babysitting, cashier at First National and the liquor store. She spent many years at Simmonds in Vergennes, caring for her ailing sister in Florida, a line worker at Earth’s Best in Middlebury, and finally retiring from Maplefields in Middlebury, Vt. I would like to say though that the best job she had was being a mother and a friend — family was always first with Barbara.

Barbara was predeceased by her father, Earl Fuller in 1997, her mother Ruby Fuller in 2000, her brother Raymond Fuller in 1994 and her oldest son Michael Hallock in 2020.

She is survived by her son Timothy Hallock and his wife Judy of Panton, Vt.; her daughter Margaret Hallock of Port Richey, Fla.; sisters Janice Albert of Ferrisburgh, Vt., and Marcia Dabney of Belleview, Fla.; and her brother Gerald (Corkey) Fuller of Middlebury, Vt.; her grandchildren, James Bevins of Bristol, Vt., Kathleen Byrnes of Middlebury, Vt., Dakota Hallock of Middlebury, Vt., Dale Swan of Middlebury, Vt., Randy Swan of Monkton, Vt., Donald, Katie, Brittnie and Jamie Blanchard, all of Vermont, Chyna Zachow of Florida, and Penelope Hallock-Zachow of Florida, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and several great-grandchildren.

The Family would like to greatly thank Sarah, Stephanie, Corey, Debbie and Sandy with the Addison County Home Health Hospice, along with everyone behind the scenes that helped take such loving care of our mother in her final weeks with us.

A woman with a heart as big as the world, taken from us too soon, Barbara will be greatly missed by many but never forgotten. We love you, Mom. Be at peace now.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1 p.m. on Monday, April 18, at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Vergennes. Interment will be at Gage Cemetery in Ferrisburgh at a later date. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Addison County Home Health Hospice to their program called Waylon’s Wish, PO Box 754, Middlebury, VT 05753.
