More on Jimmy Carter
The 39th president died Sunday Dec. 29, 2024 after entering hospice care in February 2023. He lived another 22 months at home in his cherished hometown of Plains, Georgia.
His passing follows a year after the death of his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn, who died on Nov. 19, 2023, at 96 years old. The couple forged the longest presidential marriage in U.S. history, an iconic love story as well as an enduring political and philanthropic partnership.Â

Turning 100 on Oct. 1, 2024, President Carter reached a milestone: becoming the longest-living U.S. president, a feat that no other person to hold the title has reached.Â
He is also the only president from Georgia. James Earl Carter, Jr. was born in Plains on Oct. 1, 1924 to James Earl Carter, Sr. and Lillian Gordy Carter. Famously, the family business was peanut farming, and the Baptist Church was another mainstay of his upbringing.
His list of accomplishments runs long, dedicating his life to helping and serving others. He spent time in the Navy, served as governor of Georgia from 1971-75 and served as Georgia state senator from 1963-67.Â
Carter served president in the White House for one term, from 1977-81.Â
The Carter Center shared the late president he is survived by children — Jack, Chip, Jeff, and Amy; 11 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren. In addition to his beloved wife, Rosalynn, he was preceded in death by one grandchild.
