Former American Idol contestant Joanne Borgella has passed away at the age of 32 following a year-long battle with cancer.
The singer-songwriter’s family took to her Facebook page on Saturday to share the tragic news with fans after the star succumbed to Endometrial cancer earlier that morning SAYING:.
‘To God be the glory!#Godgotthis #cancerfree2014 #godisgoodallthetime
With heavy hearts, we are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Joanne.
On Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 5:45AM, Joanne Borgella Ramirez was called by the Lord to heaven.
At an early age, Joanne made a choice to serve and trust the Lord; and since her diagnosis over a year ago, Joanne made a choice to also be a fighter and share her journey with the world. Her faith, courage and strength were unshaken throughout every obstacle she encountered. Although our family is suffering with this great loss, we find comfort in the closeness Joanne shared with the Lord. We know her spirit still shines and will continue to live on in heaven.
If you would like to send your condolences or for more information please feel free to email joanneborgella529@gmail.com or leave a message on her facebook fan page.
If you feel so inclined, we hope you’ll take the time to educate yourselves on Endometrial Cancer and support research efforts.
– The Borgella & Ramirez Family”
REST IN PEACE JOANNE BORGELA………
