Former United States President Jimmy Carter passed away at 100. He served as the nation's 39th POTUS from 1977-1981. Carter reportedly died this morning at his home in Plains, Georgia. According to NBC News, Carter had been receiving hospice care since February 2023 at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he lived with his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter. The former first lady, 96, died on Nov. 19, 2023.
Carter became known as America's 'greatest ex-president' for his humanitarian efforts and efforts to broker international peace. In 2002, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his global work in human rights.
Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were very involved with the nonprofit organization Habitat for Humanity—they primarily conducted their humanitarian efforts through the Carter Center, which they established via Emory University in Atlanta in 1982.
According to Yahoo, "He won the release of political prisoners around the world, resolved conflicts in war zones, monitored elections in fledgling democracies and helped eradicate disease. He wrote or published more than 30 books in the years after his presidency, including a novel (the first by a U.S. president), a book of poetry, a children's book, a book on fishing and other outdoor sporting activities, two on making the most of older years (one of which he co-wrote with Rosalynn), a few on the Middle East, a few personal history books focused on different periods of his life, and a handful of religious devotional books. And finally, he remained married to Rosalynn for 77 years — until her death in 2023 — and he lived to the age of 100. Carter's father and his three siblings had all died in their 50s or early 60s of pancreatic cancer, and yet he overcame brain cancer at age 90. He never lost his intense zeal for life."
