Obituary For Laurie Anne Lapp

Laurie Anne Lapp passed away unexpectedly on October 6th of natural causes. Laurie was born on September 21, 1974, the daughter of Jerry and Ellen (Manthe) Lapp. She was a 1992 graduate of Lakeside Lutheran High School.

Laurie lived in Morrisonville for over 25 years and her love and compassion for others was her greatest attribute. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and had a heart of gold beyond the occasionally tough exterior. She loved her dog Xena and enjoyed taking her on long country walks.

Laurie was a social soul, always willing to share a hug and a smile and have a conversation. She enjoyed hanging out with her friends (especially if it involved dancing and singing to the 80’s), gathering with family and celebrating the holidays. She was generous, thoughtful and loved dearly by many.

Laurie cherished her parents and missed her mother Ellen greatly. She valued the time spent with her father Jerry, especially their Saturday lunches, which were made even better when her uncles George and Sid were able to join.

Laurie is survived by her father Jerry, her sister Lindsey (Tyler) Koppinger, brothers David and Bill (Suzanne). Nephews Maxwell, Sebastian and Brendon, other loving relatives and countless wonderful friends.

A funeral service will be held at ZION EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH W6906 CO RD K Arlington WI on Friday October 20, 2023 at 11:00 am. A visitation will be held at church from 9:00 am until the time of the service. A continued celebration of Laurie’s life will be held at the Frog Pond Hwy DM in Morrisonville following the service from 1:00 until 4:00 on Friday.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Columbia or Dane County Humane Society.

Condolences

  • February 25, 2024

    To the Lapp Family, You have my deepest condolences for the lost of Mrs. Lapp and Laurie. Your Family was always good to me. Laurie you had a major positive impact on my life. For the last 20 plus years, I thought I would get to tell you that in person once I got back to the Madison area. There hasn't been one day since we went our separate ways in 1998 that I have not thought about you. You believed in me more than I believed in myself. Everytime things got hard I remembered that we broke up because I wasn't living up to my potential. So I would work that much harder at being a better individual. I will continue to remember the times we shared. Rest easy now. When we see each other again, I have so much to tell you. Remembering you always Jon

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

James S. | July 2020

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
