Mother Ballard was one of a kind. She had a kind loving spirit that never changed. She was a true example of a Christian woman. I will never forget the joy she had when she spoke about "Going Home and Being With Jesus". Sheila, Ronnie, and Michael you all are in our prayers. God Bless.

I will ALWAYS remember Mother Ballard. I grew up knowing her in New Salem. Tiny woman with a powerful personality. She was always so encouraging to me. I will truly cherish wonderful memories of her.❤️❤️❤️All my love and prayers to Shela, Michael and Ronnie.
Sending my condolences to The Ballard Family.
Ronnie, Shelia and Mike, my heart is heavy and I am Praying for you hearing about Mrs. Ballard being called home. Like a second mother to me I always enjoyed visiting with her every time I was in Decatur. Mrs. Ballard was truly a woman of God and would always tell me, she loves me and God does too. Although she will be missed here on earth. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ welcomed her with open arms saying, well done my good and faithful servant. Weeping may endure at night, but joy comes in the morning. Mrs. Ballard will be missed, but she will never be forgotten.
Rob Brummel and family

Ballard family I am praying for you. Mother Ballard was a very loving person, willing to assist anyone in need. She will be sorely missed, but please take comfort in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Mother Ballard is now sleeping in the bosom of Jesus the Christ. God bless you. Dorothy Cox-Stowe
