She once stood on the floor of Congress as a history-maker. On Sunday morning, Mia Love’s family released a deeply personal statement—signaling the loss of a leader who left a lasting mark.

Utah is mourning the loss of one of its prominent political figures. Former Representative Mia Love has died, her family confirmed early Sunday morning.

The announcement was made on March 24 at 5:05 a.m. through a message posted to her official X account. According to the family, Love passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones. They described the moment as one filled with gratitude and memories.

“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,” the statement read. “She was in her home surrounded by family.”

They added that in the midst of celebrating her life, “Mia quietly slipped the bands of mortality and, as her words and vision always did, soared heavenward.” The family thanked the public for their “many good wishes, prayers and condolences,” and said they would share funeral details and plans for a public celebration soon.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox responded to the news shortly after. In a message posted on social media, he expressed deep sorrow over her passing.

He called Love a visionary leader who had inspired many in the state through her strength and belief in the American dream and said her legacy would have a lasting impact and that she would be deeply missed.
