Former US President Jimmy Carter’s wife, Rosalynn Carter, has died at the age of 96.

Rosalynn Carter, the former first lady of the United States, died on Sunday at the age of 96. The wife of former President Jimmy Carter (99) died on Sunday afternoon (local time) “peacefully with her family” in her hometown of Plains, Georgia, a foundation set up by the Carters said. “Rosalynn has been my equal partner in everything I have ever accomplished,” the foundation quoted Jimmy Carter as saying. “As long as Rosalynn was born, I always knew someone loved and supported me.”

In May, it was announced that Rosalynn Carter was suffering from dementia. Last Friday, the foundation finally announced that the 96-year-old was receiving palliative care at home. Jimmy Carter has also been receiving palliative care at home with his family since mid-February.

Her husband is the oldest living former US president

Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter married in 1946 – the couple has four children. The former first lady campaigned on social issues and wrote several books. She is said to have had significant influence on policy in the White House during her husband’s presidency. The Democratic politician from the state of Georgia in the southern United States was president of the US from 1977 to 1981, until he was replaced by Republican Ronald Reagan. He is the oldest living former American president.

In the winter, the couple’s foundation announced that the ex-president no longer wanted to take any further medical steps after a series of hospital stays. In September, he surprised everyone with a public performance at a peanut parade in his hometown of Plains. Carter and his wife Rosalynn showed up in a dark limousine. (SDA)
