The Braxton Family Values star had spent the last year in hospice amid her treatment for esophageal cancer.

“When I heard the news about my mother being sick first thing she said was I’m going to fight and beat this,” her son, Kevin Surratt Jr., captioned a Saturday, March 12, Instagram post. “She fought to the end and today she’s at peace. I love my mother forever and this hurts so much but I’m at peace knowing she’s isn’t in pain anymore. I love you ma I’m going to miss you.”

In addition to her husband of more than 20 years, Kevin Surratt, and her 26-year-old son, the “Broken Things” songstress is survived by her sisters: Trina Braxton, Tamar Braxton, Toni Braxton and Towanda Braxton.

“It is with the utmost regret that we inform you of the passing of our sister, Traci,” a statement on Toni’s official Facebook page read. “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.”

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.

Smell like a Kardashian — and throw your friends for a loop like Donald Glover .

Snif — which encourages shoppers to “trust your own damn nose” — promises buyers “accessible luxury” to their products, which also includes candles.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
