Rep. Nancy Mace, who serves in the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 1st district, shared a series of personal reflections about her father’s final days on social media.
On April 13, 2026, Mace posted: “I’m at a loss for a lifetime of words. Sitting beside my dad, grateful for every hard, beautiful, complicated moment we’ve ever had together.
I’ve been praying over him, praying for him to see peace and for his mercy. On Friday I witnessed him accept Christ as his savior. That’s”.
Continuing her account later that evening on April 14, she wrote: “I sat beside him. Held his hand. Told him everything I needed to say. I gave dad all of my words tonight. We have no unfinished business. A rare and precious gift from God.
Our family also witnessed one of life’s most sacred moments, a father finding faith at the end. I’ll hold”.
The following morning, on April 14, Mace added: “Praying he passes peacefully, he’s earned it.”
Mace has represented South Carolina’s 1st District in Congress since 2021 after succeeding Joe Cunningham and previously served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2018 to 2020. She was born in Fort Bragg in 1977 and currently resides in Charleston.
She graduated from The Citadel with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1999.
