Audrey A. (Fayard) Fulginiti

On July 22, 2016, Audrey (Fayard) Fulginiti, 57, of Worcester died in the comfort of her home. At 5'4", she was a giant. She filled every room to the brim with her presence. She was a flame thrower that burned at both ends. A sparkler that was always brighter than the rest. Her light was never less than magnificent. She hated hard, but loved harder. Nothing and no one will ever be the same without her. Audrey is now gratefully reunited with her parents, George and Mary (Gazal) Fayard, brother Kenneth Fayard, husbands Barry Balser and Michael Fulginiti, and teacup poodle April, who were all of Worcester. She leaves behind her proudest accomplishment, her children, Jillian Wool and her husband Matthew, Jamie Balser and her boyfriend Stephen, and Kenneth Balser who shares her love for chasing adventure. She bequeaths to her granddaughter, due Oct 2016, her vivacity, intuition and contagious laughter. Audrey is also survived by her cherished siblings George Fayard, Mark Fayard and his wife Julia, and Tina Belinskas, all of Worcester, as well as her beloved dog Kibbee, and many treasured nieces, nephews and friends. She will forever miss her Grafton Hill CVS. Audrey was born in Worcester where she graduated from North High School.  She later received her associate’s degree from Quinsigamond Community College.  Audrey was an x-ray technician for 15 years for both Hahnemann Hospital and UMass Medical Center: University Campus before she retired in the 90’s.
