Published by Legacy on Sep. 26, 2025.
Alesha S. Lawson, beloved daughter, devoted mother, cherished sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at the age of 49. Her warmth, strength, and compassion will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Born on December 6, 1975, to Leonard Lawson and Donna Kaigler-

Lawson, Alesha grew up in a close-knit and loving family. She was a proud graduate of Fowler High School, where she built lifelong friendships and began to shape the caring and nurturing spirit that defined her life.

Alesha's greatest joy was her children Frederick Rahsaan Lawson-Adams, Nahjiem Bigby-Lawson, CaTarra Lawson, and Vatel Lawson whom she loved fiercely and supported. Her children were her world, and her legacy will live on through their lives and accomplishments.

She was a treasured sister to Stephenie Newport, Brian Lawson, Andrea Lawson, and Keith Lawson, and is now reunited in peace with her beloved sister, Bridget Lawson.

A devoted aunt, Alesha helped raise and guide her siblings. She leaves behind nine nieces and nephews BreeAnn Calvo, Anthony Calvo, Brian Lawson Junior, Stephenie Lawson, Joseph Lawson, Meghin Newport, Sakeeth Lawson, Keith Lawson, and Kei'ell Lawson as well as six great-nieces and nephews, all of whom brought her immense joy...

Alesha also leaves behind a host of extended family members and dear friends who will remember her generous heart, bright smile, and unwavering loyalty. Her spirit touched everyone she met, and her memory will forever be a blessing. A celebration of Alesha's life will be held with family and friends to honor the remarkable woman she was and the lasting impact she made in the community. Beyond her many roles as a daughter, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, Alesha was a woman of vibrant spirit and unforgettable presence. Alesha also found joy and purpose in her work. She spent time employed at Labor Ready, Southwest Community Center, and in other roles that allowed her to share her enthusiasm, humor, and joy with others. No matter the job, Alesha poured her heart into helping people and contributing to her community.
