Braverman Obituary

Kristina Braverman, age 102, died yesterday quietly in her sleep on Thursday, July 1.

At the time of her death, Kristina was an active resident of Brookdale Senior Living coordinating events such as the weekly Saturday night dances, daily Wii challenge events for bowling, tennis and guitar hero v125 – oldies but goodies (1970-1989), and ‘grandparents for grandbabies’ day, an event she started in 2064.

She will be remembered for her work in the national effort to educate and eradicate domestic violence. She passionately supported the National Education for All People (NEAP) program which affords any adult who desires an education the opportunity to realize their dreams and was the founder and honorary chairperson of the organization – People for the Equitable Treatment of People.
She loved to travel the world and had the opportunity to travel to more than 100 countries, 40 after the age of 65. She worked closely with her daughter Courtney, Senator from California, to bring clean drinking water to communities all around the world.

After 25-years with American Express, she retired to a small farm with her dogs, cats and many farm animals. After her retirement, she remained active in the community supporting several charities and philanthropic organizations.

She is survived by her two children, John and Courtney, her daughter-in-law Lexie, her son-in-law X, 5 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. Kristina is preceded in death by a few husbands. As she joked frequently, add them all up and you get 60+ years.

At the time of her death, she had realized her many dreams, but she always missed her home of Texas, though she chose to live near her beloved children and grandchildren.
A Catholic Mass will be held Monday, 10:00 AM at San Antonio de Padua Del Canon, 5800 Santa Ana Canyon Road, Anaheim Hills, CA with a burial following at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 1712 South Glendale Ave, Glendale CA, 91205.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice.










What I love most about the world is its diversity. The world is full of many different types of people with different backgrounds, thoughts, cultures, desires, hopes and dreams. You can learn about life through the eyes and actions of others. We have the opportunity to accept what makes us the same, as well as what is different and we can grow and evolve our world views.

The world would be a better place if people allowed others to live, laugh, love and believe the way that is best for them and not try to pass their morals and values on others as if they are the only ones that are right. Acceptance can lead to diversity and peace.

What I would like to maintain about the world through my work as an educator is progress. The world continues to morph and grow because of technology and the efforts to globalize. The world has opened up to travel, with the opportunity to work closely with many cultures and people we have never had the opportunity to connect with before.

What I would like to change about the world through my work as an educator is the lack of acceptance and toleration for others. I would like to eradiate domestic violence, unclean and unhealthy living conditions around the world and would like to be an instrumental contributor in the efforts to educate any adult who has the desire regardless of their finances or background.

I want my students to be whatever they want to be and achieve whatever they desire. I want to help them realize their dreams and goals and am willing to push them to the next level through encouragement and opportunity.
