Carter passed away on November 19th at the age of 96 after receiving years of home hospice care.
The former first lady had been married for 77 years to former President Jimmy Carter, who was the 39th president of the United States.
“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” President Carter said. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
The Carter Center, the couple’s human rights organization, stated that she had been diagnosed with dementia back in May. Rosalynn was survived by her husband and her four children, Jack, Chip, Jeff, and Amy. She also had 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
