Alaina Braxton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 12, 2025.
Byram - Alaina Marie Braxton, aged 69, passed away on May 6, 2025. Born on March 1, 1956, Alaina was a light in the lives of all who knew her, radiating warmth, love, and quiet strength.

She was cherished for her gentle spirit and her deep reverence for the natural beauty that surrounded her. Whether in the rustle of trees or the stillness of a garden, she found solace and inspiration in nature, often spending hours in her garden, as her love for the outdoors was a constant source of joy.

But her greatest love was her family. Alaina poured her heart and soul into nurturing and supporting her loved ones. She found immense happiness in creating moments of togetherness-whether it was a family dinner, a family trip, or the annual Fourth of July at the lake. She always made sure everyone felt loved and included.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Louis Braxton; her children, Courtney and her husband Louis, Trevor and his wife Alyssa, and Vanessa and her husband Peter; her grandchildren, Lucienne, Wyatt, Jacob, Eric, and Benjamin; her sister, Leigh Anne Hall and her husband Dave; and her brother, Michael Alvarez and his wife Dawn. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Shirley Alvarez.

A Celebration of Life for those wishing to pay their respects will be held on June 4, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Orchard View Lavender Farm in Port Murray, NJ.

I will miss my sister (in-law) so much. She was a wonderful person. Ha ha, I was so nervous when joining the family in 1988, but she welcomed me. In recent years I always enjoyed her company; she had such an interesting point of view and outlook on everything. The world is worse off without Alaina...

Fond memories of our trip around the west of Ireland with Alaina and Vanessa exactly 3 years ago. It was great for us to finally meet and surprisingly (not) we got on very well!

Alaina and I were best friends throughout High School. The memories I have of her will be in my heart forever. She was more of a cherished sister than a friend. My deepest condolences to Louis and the family.
