<div>Brittany Bowen Erni, 35, of Allentown, NJ, passed away on July 7, 2025. The mightiest of angels, Brittany proved big hearts come in the smallest packages. A lover and fighter, she was a devoted wife, hardworking mother, and radiant soul whose love knew no bounds.
</div>
<div>Born Brittany Bowen on November 9, 1989, in Bayonne, New Jersey, she graduated from Johnson &amp; Wales University, launching a remarkable career in hospitality. From Vermont’s mountains to Orlando’s hotels, her journey culminated in Princeton, NJ, where she expertly managed operations at the Marriott. Brittany’s passions—cooking, reading, and shopping—brought joy to her vibrant life.
</div>
<div>Brittany’s love enveloped her family: her husband of 18 years, Tom Erni, the love of her life; her beloved 3-month-old daughter, Briella Grace Erni; her father and stepmother, Michael and Denise Bowen; her mother and stepfather, Dawn and Danny Vaicunas; her loving in-laws, Tom and Dana Erni; her siblings, Ryan Schwaeber, Joshua Schwaeber, Jacqueline Bowen, Daniel Vaicunas, and Devina Vaicunas; her brother-in-law, Samuel Erni; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Whether at the beach or with her two cats, her warmth touched all. In her 35 years, Brittany’s immeasurable impact will be forever cherished.
</div>
<div>We will be holding a celebration of life on August 16, 2025, at The Taylor Pavilion, located at 500 Ocean Avenue, Belmar, NJ 07719. Brittany loved her daughter more than anything on earth, and she was the happiest we ever saw during the last 3 months she was able to spend as a mother. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have known Brittany since the day she was born, as our parents are best friends. She was one of my first friends and we continued to cheer each other on from the background throughout different moments of our lives; sending our love and well-wishes through our parents. This GoFundMe that was started last July will send funds directly to a trust for Briella that was created by her father Tom Erni to start an education fund for Briella. 
</div>
