Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), who served in Congress for nearly three decades, has died at the age of 74, her family announced Friday evening.
“Today, with incredible grief for our loss yet deep gratitude for the life she shared with us, we announce the passing of United States Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of the 18th Congressional District of Texas,” her family wrote in a statement shared to her account on X.
Her family did not specify a cause of death, but the news comes just over one month after the Congresswoman revealed that she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

She is a good democrat now.
She should take Juneteenth with her.
Hmm.
How bout dat.
I certainly hope before she left the planet she confessed repentance and accepted that Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for every one of her own sins. I hope she accepted the grace and forgiveness and mercy available to us all.
We are all sinners. Some of us are more hateful about it.
I have two friends that died from that insidious cancer. One lasted 60 days the other died 30 days to the day from the diagnosis. Terrible.

Condolences to both of their families.

Quick death after diagnosis of PC is a relief. The side effects of treatment and how PC affects the body is horrible. I am grateful to God, my wife lived 6 years after stage-4 lung cancer diagnosis. Chemo side effects were bad, but she was able to enjoy many happy activities.
Betcha she will still vote democrat in November.
I hate cancer.
IMHO, what is insidious about cancer is, it is a sneaky disease. It grows silently without symptoms in the beginning. By the time symptoms show up, it has usually spread to many places. That is exactly what happened to my wife. No symptoms until lung cancer had spread to rib bones.
I don’t think the person to beat this one has been born yet.
It took two of the best people I ever knew.
Hear hear - My step father (same age has Sheila Jackson Lee) had symptoms of something in middle of January, was diagnosed in February and died the last week of March that year.
He had tested cancer free in November of the previous year and took his 3rd Moderna covid vaxx immediately after...
God bless you for sharing the story of your wife. Living through the treatment with her had to be hard; I could not imagine having to do that with my wife.
C’mon man, she went straight to hell.
RIP? NO! BIH burn in hell.
May God rest her soul?
Why would he do that?
“I am a vengeful God.”
I have no idea what Donald Trump was talking about last night. For more than an hour, he rambled and lied. He is unfit for the Presidency! Now, my friends, is the time to focus on beating him and his Project 2025 monstrosity. Enough is enough!
