After a private battle with Esophageal cancer Traci Braxton died on early Saturday, March 12th at age 50. Her husband Kevin Surratt, their son Kevin Jr, Traci’s mother Evelyn and her sisters Toni, Tamar, Towanda & Trina were reportedly at her side when she passed.
Social media posted the news around 9am the morning of her passing and fans of Traci and the Braxton family were in complete shock. The Braxtons are known all over the globe for their individual superstar status as singers with Toni and Tamar being the most popular, but the unique harmony the Braxton sisters collectively is unmatched.
On top of their incredible singing talents, a new audience of fans grew to love them even more through their television show Braxton Family Values which aired for 5 seasons on WE television. The show is where Traci Braxton really got a chance to shine with her sisters.
Toni was the first to post of Traci passing following social media’s announcement:
“It is with the utmost regret that we inform you of the passing of our sister, Traci. Needless to say, she was a bright light, a wonderful daughter, an amazing sister, a loving mother, wife, grandmother and a respected performer. We will miss her dearly. Traci passed this morning as the snow was falling, our angel is now a snowflake. We ask that you respect our privacy as we plan to send her home with love, celebrating her life. We are family forever.
Love, The Braxton Family”
