A statement from her husband Jason Danieley notes "Incredible human being, loving wife, dedicated family member, devoted friend and Broadway star, Marin Mazzie passed away this morning at 10:10am in the comfort of her New York City apartment surrounded by family and close friends.

Marin, a three-time Tony award nominee and recent inductee into the American Theatre Hall of Fame (among many other accolades) was diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer in May of 2015. Over that time, while fighting her own fight, she took it upon herself to help spread awareness of Ovarian Cancer and to help find an early detection for the disease, of which, currently, there is none.

Ms. Mazzie is survived by her mother Donna Mazzie, brother Mark Mazzie and her husband Jason Danieley.

There will be a private gathering in the immediate future and a fuller Celebration of Life to be planned and with details forthcoming."
