A talented actress, teacher, and coach, Maus is known for her appearances in Charm City Kings, Dismissed, and Your Sister’s Sister among others. According to a GoFundMe campaign set up by her fiancé Dusty Warren, Maus was diagnosed with colon cancer last April, and her initial CT scans after starting treatment were promising.

“It is with a shattered-yet grateful-heart that I inform you that Jeanette Maus passed away late last night due to complications of cancer,” wrote Warren (via Deadline). “I’m really sad, but I’m super proud of her. She fought so hard, with tremendous grace and optimism, inspiring myself and I’m sure many of you.”
