Joanne was fighting for the past year against what she described as a “rare case” of cancer.

Borgella’s family broke the news on her Facebook page Saturday … saying the singer passed away around 5:45AM — adding, “Her faith, courage and strength were unshaken throughout every obstacle she encountered.”

Joanne was the first winner of “Mo’Nique’s Fat Chance” using the name “Miss F.A.T.” in 2005. In 2008 she was on Season 7 of “A.I.” and made it into the top 12 girls category.
