KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA (http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Traci Braxton, the sister of singing star Toni Braxton and star of the hit reality television series “Braxton Family Values,” died after battling esophageal cancer, 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 treatments for Esophageal cancer our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory,” her husband Kevin Surratt shared with NBC News.

“We have come to a time where we must inform the public that after a year of privately undergoing a series of treatments for Esophageal cancer our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory,” her husband Kevin Surratt told NBC.

According to her publicist, Tomasina Perkins-Washington, Braxton was surrounded by family and friends when she passed. She also spent the last year of her life in hospice, Perkins-Washington added.

“When I heard the news about my mother being sick, the first thing she said was I’m going to fight and beat this,” her son, Kevin Surratt Jr., said in an Instagram post on Saturday. “She fought to the end and today she’s at peace.”
