May 18, 1975 — June 7, 2026

With heavy hearts and profound respect, we announce the passing of Toni Braswell, a cherished soul who departed this world on June 7, 2026, at the age of 51. Born on May 18, 1975, in the warm embrace of Riverside, California, Toni spent her lifetime surrounded by the love of family and the beauty of creativity. She left us peacefully at home, after bravely confronting multiple health challenges, including congestive heart failure, diabetes, and COPD, with remarkable courage and grace. Toni was the beloved daughter of Maria, who instilled in her a zest for life and a passion for the arts. Her heart and home were filled with love and laughter, shared with her devoted husband, Charles, and their four children: April, Marisela, Samuel, and Anthony. Toni's legacy continues through her two precious grandchildren, who brought her boundless joy and whom she adored beyond measure. A woman of many talents, Toni's love for writing poems was matched only by her passion for coloring and drawing. Her artistry, both with words and colors, was a true reflection of her vibrant spirit. In quieter moments, she found solace in the world of books and the unfolding stories on her favorite television shows, where she found inspiration and comfort. Toni was celebrated by all who knew her for her infectious laughter, a beautiful smile that could light up a room, and quick comebacks that left everyone smiling. Her presence was a joyful melody, and her warmth was a comfort to all who had the privilege of knowing her. A service to honor Toni's remarkable life will be held on June 14, 2026, at 5:30 PM at Fairmount Park, located at 2601 Fairmount Blvd, Riverside, CA 92501. It will be a time for family and friends to gather, share memories, and celebrate the legacy of a woman who touched the hearts of many. As we remember Toni, let us carry forward the love, laughter, and kindness she so generously shared with the world. In her memory, may we find strength in our own lives, inspired by her resilience and the joy she brought to every moment. Toni Braswell will forever be missed, but her spirit and love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her. May she rest in eternal peace, wrapped in the love of her family and the beauty she brought into the world.
