Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to public service and taking care of his family. Remember his legacy with his photos, here.
President Jimmy Carter led a remarkable life filled with numerous achievements and accolades. He served as the President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, and following his tenure, dedicated himself to a life of public service. In addition to his role as President, Carter served as a Georgia State Senator from 1963 to 1967 and as the 76th Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975.
Throughout his life, President Carter was supported by his loving wife, Rosalynn Carter, whom he has been married to since 1946. She died in November 2023. Together, they raised a family of three sons, one daughter, grandsons and granddaughters.
In February 2023, the Carter Foundation shared that the former President had entered hospice treatment at the age of 98. “After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention,” the statement read. “He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family respectfully requests privacy during this time and expresses gratitude for the concern shown by his many admirers.”
In December 2024, Jimmy died at the age of 100.
