The Braxton Family remembers Traci Braxton on the one-year anniversary of her sudden passing.
A year ago, on March 12, 2023, the “Last Call” songstress died after privately battling cancer at the tender age of 50. The late performer is survived by her mother, her father, her five siblings (four sisters and one brother), her husband, and her son.
Marking a year after Traci’s sad demise, the Braxton Family Values cast paid homage to her with moving tributes on social media.
Braxton Family Remembers Traci Braxton on One-Year Anniversary of Passing
Members of the Braxton family took turns honoring their late sister, daughter, and colleague through their personal Instagram accounts. Eldest sister Toni Braxton began the array of tributes with a message and a snapshot featuring all the Braxton sisters dressed in black and denim outfits.
The 55-year-old singer added her song, “Breathe Again,” to the image and penned warm words in remembrance of her beloved sister. “One of my favorite sister pictures. I can hardly believe it’s been a year today. I miss you so much!” Toni wrote in the caption.
Trina Braxton followed suit with a tribute for her fallen sister, highlighting that she chose to focus on the happy times. She posted a collage of solo images of her Traci captured in different outfits, along with a heartfelt passage.
Trina said, “Today I celebrate you. I have no montage to display. I have no sad soliloquy. Today I chose to simply remember all of the happiness and Traci-ness that you have brought into my life, our families lives, and those around you. I love you. I remember you. I miss you. Rest well my beloved sister and hummingbird.”

Subsequently, Towanda Braxton shared a post for her demised loved one. “I can’t believe it’s been a whole [damn] year,” Towanda elaborated on her Instagram. “I absolutely miss your physical presence but I’m soooooo thankful I have memories and documented ‘Traci-isms’ to last more than a lifetime.”
The touching message continued, “I love you…Miss your physical being…but as Trina said in her post, I too have decided to hold on and remember the awesomeness of our Traci! #hummingbird #tracibraxton.”
Of course, the matriarch of the Braxton family, Evelyn Braxton, wasn’t left out. She also joined in and crafted a lengthy tear-jerking note for her daughter.

Evelyn began the first part of her message, writing, “Dearest Tray, Although you’re not here not in the flesh, you are here in the spirit and in my mind and heart you will always be here. It’s been a year now that you have been resting with the Lord I know that you’re safe. I know you’re leaning and perhaps enjoying your time with the Lord however, I miss you so so much.”
She then reminisced on Traci’s birth, expressing gratitude for birthing the late singer. Evelyn noted that even though she and Traci had their shortcomings, as most people did, she always loved her.
“I loved you more than you know at the end of your life, and I held you in my arms and rocked you for the last time. I was so grateful that God Allowed me to see you take your first breath and your Last.”

The grieving mother continued in a second part quoting Traci’s favorite bible scripture, the 23rd Psalms. Evelyn ended the Bible quote by concluding, ”And Traci you are dwelling in the house of the Lord and glowing in his presence.”
In addition to her mother and siblings, the “Lifeline” singer’s husband, Kevin Surratt, honored her. He unveiled a clip of him and his wife, conveying that he missed the beautiful times they had.
The widower began, “[To] wake up the last 48 hrs #birthday#23 #thanksgiving #24 was truly hard!!! But what truly [helped] was knowing you!!!”
He recounted how they stuck together despite the “naysayers” and doted on his mate in the finale of his caption, “Happy Holidays #TraRatt @therealtracibraxton I truly miss you with all my heart…, and you know what I’m doing. #loveyouforever #thetruthwillsetyoufree…… people that knew us without know the real reality!!! #riptracibraxton.”
We send our deepest condolences and prayers to the Braxton Family as they cope with Traci Braxton’s passing. May she continue to RIP.
