Traci Braxton, an actor, singer, and reality TV personality who starred in a show with her sisters, died of cancer Saturday, her family said. She was 50.
“It is with the utmost regret that we inform you of the passing of our sister, Traci,” R&B star Toni Braxton said in a statement on Instagram. “Traci passed this morning as the snow was falling, our angel is now a snowflake.”
Traci was “a bright light, a wonderful daughter, an amazing sister, a loving mother, wife, grandmother and a respected performer,” her family said.
Alongside her sisters, Toni, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar, she had starred in WE tv’s Braxton Family Values, a show about their lives and relationships, since 2011. Traci was also known for her role as Nana in the 2018 movie Sinners Wanted.
Traci released a solo debut album, “Crash & Burn”, in 2014. Her single” Last Call” peaked at No. 16 on the R&B Adult chart.
She and her husband had been married since 1996. In an Instagram post in August last year, their son, Kevin Surratt Jr., celebrated their 25th anniversary, writing, “25 years of my parents being best friends parents and just being the best at being one … I’m not big on astrology but I feel like the stars are aligned. I love you and I hope y’all have many more years together.”
There was an outpouring of tributes to Traci on Saturday as news of her death broke.
May her amazing soul rest in love and peace.
