Former Utah Congresswoman Mia Love passed away yesterday at the young age of 49, as announced by her family.

They wrote last night:

“With grateful hearts filled to overflowing for the profound influence of Mia on our lives, we want you to know that she passed away peacefully today. She was in her home surrounded by family. In the midst of a celebration of her life and an avalanche of happy memories, Mia quietly slipped the bands of mortality and, as her words and vision always did, soared heavenward. We are thankful for the many good wishes, prayers and condolences. We are taking some time as a family and will provide information about funeral services and a public celebration of her life in the days to come.”

Mia had brain cancer and, according to her daughter, had stopped responding to treatments earlier this month. She was diagnosed in 2022 with glioblastoma, which is said to be a fast-moving and aggressive form of brain cancer.

May she rest in the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
