Former US Ambassador Mia Love, R-Utah, died on Sunday at the age of 49, according to her family.
Love, who was the daughter of Haitian immigrants and the first black Republican woman chosen to Congress, “died peacefully” surrounded by family.
“With grateful hearts filled with full of deep influences of Mia on our lives, we want you to know that she has passed away peacefully today,” said the Love family in a statement published X. “She was surrounded by family in her home.”

“In the midst of the celebration of her life and the avalanche of happy memories, Mia quietly slipped the bands of mortality and, as her words and visions always did, the fairies of heaven,” the family continued. “We are grateful for many good wishes, prayers and condolences. We take some time as a family and provide information on funeral services and public celebration of our lives in the days to come.”

Love was in the treatment of brain cancer, but her daughter said earlier this month that the former Congress of Congress no longer responds to it.
