19 November 2023 at 21:17 Former US first lady Rosalynn Carter (96) has died Former first lady Rosalynn Carter (96) has died, the Carter Center said on Sunday. The death is announced just two days after the Carter family announced that the 96-year-old is receiving hospice care at her home with her husband, former US President Jimmy Carter (99). – She and President Carter spend time with each other and their family, said a statement from the couple’s grandson Jason Carter. Jimmy Carter began hospice care in February at the couple’s home in Plains, Georgia. The Carter family announced earlier this year that the former first lady was suffering from dementia. The couple has been married for over 77 years. Democrat Carter was US president from 1977 to 1981, and he is the longest-lived US president ever.
