Singer Traci Braxton, who appeared on the reality series “Braxton Family Values” with her sisters, including Grammy- winner Toni, died Saturday, March 5, 2022, at 50, her family said.

“We have come to a time where we must inform the public that after a year of privately undergoing a series of treatment for esophageal cancer, our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory,” her husband Kevin Surratt said in a written statement released by Braxton’s spokesperson Thomasina Perkins-Washington.

“She was surrounded by family and friends at the time of her passing. We ask that you keep them in your prayers,” Perkins-Washington’s statement said.

Toni Braxton posted a tribute on Instagram, saying her sister Traci “was a bright light, a wonderful daughter, an amazing sister, a loving mother, wife, grandmother and a respected performer. We will miss her dearly.”

“Braxton Family Values” began in 2011 on WE tv. Traci Braxton also appeared on “Marriage Boot Camp” with her husband, Kevin Surratt.
