Ms. Massie was reportedly 51-years-old, according to the Daily Mail outlet.
“Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven,” Massie (R-Ky.) wrote on X. “Thank you for your prayers for our family in this difficult time.”
Massie said just prior to Rhonda’s death, “we spent last week touring Mt Rainier with our grandson.”
“She was valedictorian at our high school where we went to the Prom together, accepted at MIT and Harvard, earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from MIT, and devoted her life to our family,” he added, cherishing her memory and sharing images of the couple as well as their family.
Rhonda’s cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
Massie represents Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, which includes over a dozen counties near the cities of Louisville and Lexington.
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of Rhonda Massie, the beloved wife of my friend and colleague, Thomas Massie,” fellow Kentucky Rep. Andy Barr wrote on X. “Rhonda’s warmth, kindness, and dedication to her family and community touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with Rep. Thomas Massie and the entire Massie family following this terrible loss. Rhonda was an incredible woman,” added fellow Kentucky GOP Rep. Brett Guthrie.
The Republican Party of Kentucky said in a statement that Rhonda Massie was “an amazing mother, wife, and Kentuckian. She touched all who knew her and will be deeply missed.”
