Our beloved Camille J. Braxton was born july 14, 1988 to Pastor Eugene D. Braxton, Jr. and CharnitaJ.
Braxton in Riverside, California. She graduated from Stephenson High School in 2006 where she was a member of the Stephenson track and field team.
Camille was also a manager on the Stephenson basketball team. She attended Albany State University where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Marketing. Camille was an active member of Baachus and Gamma (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students and Greeks . Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol), Relay for life, and the Marketing Club. She later received her Master's Degree in Business at The University of Phoenix.
Camille has been a bridge connecting different people from different types of life. She never met a stranger, dealing with everyone on their level. You never sat in the seat of judgment when in Camille's presence. If ever you had a problem or a situation Camille always had a listening ear but was quick to tell you, "You straight trippin." She was compassionate, loving, kind, considerate, authentic and witty. Her humor was unmatched; her stories would command your attention while writhing in pain from laughter. There was no better friend or confidant.
At an early age Camille received Christ as her lord and Savior. She was an active member at One Accord Community Church in Decatur Georgia serving as a youth leader of Y.A.D.A.C (Youth Against Drugs and Crime), a member of the youth choir, and a youth counselor. Camille was known to have strong faith. In the midst of her struggle with cancer, Camille introduced her church family and loved ones to the mantra "All faith, no fear." This became a standard slogan not just for Camille but for everyone who was touched in some way by her life.
In Camille's high school year book she wrote, "I want to be remembered by my everlasting smiling face. I also want to be remembered by my ability to get along with everyone." On this day it will be documented that Camille accomplished her goal.
On Wednesday, August 14, 2013 Camille slipped quietly away to her celestial home. She was preceded in death by: her paternal grandmother, Mary lee Braxton; and her maternal grandfather, leslie l Treadwell.
Camille is survived by: her parents, Eugene and Charnita Braxton; her brother, Eugene D. Braxton III; her grandmother, Pearl Treadwell; her grandfather, Eugene D. Braxton, Sr.; her great grandmother, Willa Mae Hutsona; three aunts, Regina, Bertha, and Anne Marie Braxton; aunt of the heart, Rosalind Edochie; cousins, Kingsley Ngelale, Valencia and Chidelia Edochie; God brother and sister, Kevin and Kerrington Griffin; "Da GUHs", Tarniecia, Christina, Sheraun, Nafeesha, Anndrina, Shanae, and Genetta; life long childhood friends, Michael, Bernard, Wesley and Melissa; and a host of other relatives and friends.
ALL FAITH NO FEAR
While there is a void left in every heart you touched, A tear on every eye that beheld your beauty, Sorrow for those you left behind,
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His beautiful angel."
All faith and no fear you stood firm, Your body riddled with pain,
So many questions must have run through your mind, Yet your smile empowered us to have courage to pray,
And trust the God who cannot fail.
All faith no fear rings in our heads, As our minds wrestle with the thought of not seeing your beautiful smile,
Or hearing the sound of your laughter, Yet in our hearts your legacy lives on, AU faith no fear, we've been touched by an angel.
I never understood it until today, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints,"
For your happiness must have been very dear to God, You have entered into eternal rest and perfect blessedness.
aughter and kindness we will forever carry in our hearts, Until we meet again in His glorious presence
III!IIIIDk you for All Faith No Fear,
Rest in Peace, Camille anine Braxton
