OBITUARY
Alison Wagman, 31, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2026. Born on December 15, 1994, Alison brought warmth, laughter, creativity, and love into every room she entered. Her presence was vibrant and unforgettable — she was endlessly outgoing, deeply passionate, brilliantly intelligent, and full of life in a way that others admired.
Alison dedicated her career as a physical therapist at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), where her compassion and gentleness touched countless children and families. She was always putting the people she loved before herself, and doing so with grace, patience, and generosity.
Alison was a lover of the arts, animals, dance, music, beading, and all things cozy. She sang constantly — sometimes long after everyone was ready for her to stop. She loved deeply, and those in her inner circle felt it. Her laughter filled up every room and she was always up for any adventure. Her love for travel and experience was unmatched and you never had to convince her.
To know Alison was to know kindness in its purest form. She carried herself with extraordinary generosity, determination, and left a lasting mark on everyone fortunate enough to love her. Everyone will remember her for her enormous heart, and she will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.
Alison is survived by her husband Brandon, father Steven, mother Brenda, sister Amy, brother Russell, grandparents Murray and Marilyn, aunts, uncles, cousins, and beloved dog Pavi. Her memory will remain a source of comfort, inspiration, and love to all who knew her. In celebration of Alison’s life, memorial contributions can be made to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
