In a rare appearance, ex-President Jimmy Carter bid farewell to his late wife, Rosalynn, who passed away at 96. Despite health struggles, Jimmy stood by her side till the end. The couple’s enduring bond, formed in Plains, Georgia, in childhood, remained unbroken. Rosalynn, the resilient First Lady from 1977 to 1981, died on November 19, surrounded by loved ones.

The Carters, known for humanitarian work at the Carter Center, faced health challenges in the past year. Concerns about Jimmy’s well-being arise after Rosalynn’s departure. Grandson Jason Carter revealed Jimmy’s physical decline, suggesting his time may be limited. Jimmy, a source of strength, will feel the impact of Rosalynn’s absence profoundly.

At the memorial, daughter Amy Carter read a touching letter Jimmy wrote to Rosalynn during his Navy service, reflecting their enduring love. As we bid farewell, let’s honor Rosalynn’s legacy and the impact she made. Our thoughts are with the Carter family; may Rosalynn rest in peace.
