Audrey Rebecca Fulton-Lapp, age 54, of Franklin, passed away December 20, 2024 in an Asheville hospital following a period of declining health.

She was welcomed into the world on June 13, 1970 in a Sylva hospital by her parents, Carolyn Horn Fulton and James Robert Fulton.

Audrey could often be found in the kitchen, or with her hands on a new craft. She enjoyed preparing meals for the people she loved and most recently, crafting journals for her friends and family. However, her greatest joys were her children and grandchildren.

She loved attending Promise Lane church and worshipping with her church family.

In addition to her father, she is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Robert Fulton and Grace Higdon Fulton; and maternal grandparents, Leonard Horn and Leota McCracken Horn.

She is survived by her mother, Carolyn Horn Lapp; children, Kristen Brauer (Jason), Justin Gray (Emerald), Benjamin Gray, and William Gray; grandchildren, Daniel Houston, Edwin Houston, and Dorothy Grace Brauer; and special aunt, Margaret Ledbetter (Buck). She also survived by her husband, Bill Lapp; his children, William Lapp, Elizabeth Lapp, and Anna Lapp; and by the father of her children, John Gray.

Audrey was loved by everyone who knew her. She leaves behind many friends, including the ladies in her crafting group.

Funeral services will take place at 11:00 A.M. Monday, December 30, 2024 in the chapel of Macon Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. Pastor Bradley Bennett will officiate.

A private family burial will take place in the family plot at Higdonville Baptist Church Cemetery.
