Traci and her family were very cautious and took great lengths to ensure that her medical dilemma was kept private, and even some of her closest co-workers had no idea of her illness. An official statement has been released to TMZ, as follows:
“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,” Braxton’s husband, Kevin Surratt, confirmed. Traci reportedly had her sisters, mother and friends at her side when she passed away.
