RICHARD A. "TED" BRAXTON
October 29, 1940 - May 20, 2020
  Murfreesboro, NC - Richard A. “Ted” Braxton, 79, a long-time resident of 
Murfreesboro, NC, slipped away from his earthly home in the early hours of 
the morning on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 surrounded by family in the comfort 
of his home. Ted was predeceased by his parents Mark F Braxton, Sr. and Mary 
Elizabeth Parker Braxton.
 Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of almost 60 years, Betty 
King Braxton, two daughters, Cindy Sanders (Todd), Betty Jo Merritt 
(Jeffery), one brother, Mark F. Braxton, Jr. (Berta), four grandchildren, 
Clay Darden, Andrew Darden (Amanda), Mary D. Leitner (Cullen), and Emily 
Merritt, three great grandchildren, Blake Darden, Harper Darden, and Bennett 
Leitner, a niece, Nancy Cartier, and two nephews, Mark and Mike Braxton.
 Ted retired from Union Camp after thirty years, where he formed lifelong 
friendships and made many lasting memories during his time there. Ted also 
enjoyed working at Murfreesboro Farms where he was an employee for many 
years. He was a member of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church.
 In his younger years, Ted enjoyed the great outdoors. He could often be 
found hunting, fishing, having one of his infamous pig pickin’s, working in 
his prize-worthy garden, or tending to one of his many beloved animals. Ted 
never met a stranger and would sit down and talk to anyone he came across. 
In his later years his days were filled with golf cart rides and rocking 
babies. His love for his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren 
never went unnoticed. Ted will be greatly missed but his memory will be 
carried on by his family and the many friends he made along the way.
 A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
 In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the American Heart 
Association or Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, Ahoskie, NC.
