America Got Talent Star Jane ‘Nightbirde’ Marczewski’s family is devastated after her untimely demise. After four years of fighting cancer, she passed away on February 19, 2022.
Jane Marczewski, a Zanesville-born singer known as “Nightbirde” who became famous after appearing in America’s Got Talent, died of cancer on Saturday night at her home in San Clemente, California, surrounded by family as she was 31 years old.
Marczewski received a standing ovation and golden buzzer by AGT judge Simon Cowell in June after singing her original song “It’s Okay” about her determination to remain hopeful and optimistic during the worst of times.
But a few weeks later, Jane quit the television contest, claiming that her health had deteriorated and that her battle with cancer required all her energy and attention.
Meet Jane Marczewski AKA Nightbirde Family And Her Siblings
Jane Marczewski is survived by her family and siblings Mitchell Jr., Andrew, and Katelyn Marczewski; grandparents Richard and Elizabeth Rumora; Uncle Keith and Aunt Sheryl Ross; Nephew Mitchell III and Jude Marczewski; Nephew Magnolia Marczewski and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Marczewski was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in 2017 and learned three years later that it had metastasized her liver, lungs, spine, and lymph nodes.
Her stage name, Nightbirde, comes from a recurring dream in which birds sing outside her window at night. Jane was hospitalized for several days as her brother, Andrew, had been living with Jane for the past two years taking care of her.
Katelyn said she last saw her sister when the Marczewski family gathered in Zanesville for Christmas. It was clear at the time that Jane was not feeling well, but she was dancing with her younger nieces and nephews.
