We are saddened to share the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, who has left us at the age of 100. As a prominent figure in American history, his legacy continues to inspire many even today.
Two years ago, Carter revealed his decision to spend his remaining days in hospice care, a poignant reminder of his peaceful approach to life’s final chapter.
Surrounded by familiar comforts, Jimmy Carter passed away in his Georgia home at around 3:40 pm ET. His son, Chip Carter, shared this heartfelt news with the world.
Carter’s journey from a peanut farmer to the President of the United States is a storied tale of growth, wisdom, and commitment. He led the nation from 1977 to 1981, and subsequently devoted his post-presidency years to humanitarian efforts.
Acknowledged for his endeavors, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, finding serenity in his later years in Georgia alongside his cherished wife, Rosalynn. Her passing in 2023 was a great loss to him, highlighting their profound bond.
Reaching 100 years, Carter became the longest-living former president in America’s history, a remarkable feat that adds to his list of accolades.
His presidency, although brief, was marked by significant events such as the energy crisis, which saw countless Americans queuing for gasoline, and the challenging Iran hostage crisis, underscoring the trials faced under his leadership.
