The "Braxton Family Values" star died after a private battle with esophageal cancer at age 50 on March 12. "It is with the utmost regret that we inform you of the passing of our sister, Traci," the Braxton family said in a statement issued via sister Toni Braxton's Instagram account. "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 concluded, "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."
She is survived by her husband, Kevin Surratt, and her son, Kevin Surratt Jr.
