In palliative care since Friday, “she passed away peacefully, with her family by her side”, in the couple’s home in Plains, in the state of Georgia (southeast of the United States), said the foundation managing the image and political legacy of Jimmy Carter in a press release.

“Rosalynn has been my equal partner in everything I have accomplished,” said the former Democratic president, quoted in the text.

The 99-year-old former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner has been receiving palliative care since February.

In the White House from 1977 to 1981, for a single term, he is the oldest former American president in history.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were married in 1946.
