Committed Christian ex-First Lady Rosalynn Carter dies

Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter

Devout Bible-reading Christian Rosalynn Carter, the wife of former United States President Jimmy Carter, has died aged 96. She died peacefully at home surrounded by her family, having entered hospice care shortly before she died. She had been diagnosed with dementia earlier this year.

Mrs Carter was married to her husband Jimmy for over 77 years, the pair having met when she was just 18, and married the next year. She leaves behind her four children, 11 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

President Carter, who himself is 99 years old, described her as ‘an extension of myself ’, pointing to the tremendous support she was to him throughout his political career, and general life.
