We will miss her dearly.”

The statement continued: “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.”

Following many of the sisters’ popular music careers, they joined forces to share their lives on their Braxton Family Values reality TV show. The series debuted in April 2011 on WE TV.

“[The public] doesn’t think [our family] stick[s] together. Everybody thinks that we hate on each other,” Traci exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2018 about their sibling bond. “My parents did not believe in that. Especially trying to play one sibling against the other. We [weren’t] raised that way. It’s all love.”

She continued: “Every family go through some spats. It doesn’t even matter if you’re not even the closest family. You go through some spats. But somehow, some way, you always mend it right back together.”

The WE TV series aired for seven seasons, concluding in December 2020.

Traci also appeared with her husband on the third season of Marriage Boot Camp. She was also an actress, with roles in The Christmas Lottery and Sinners Wanted.
