Rosalynn Carter, former US first lady, dead at 96

Rosalynn Carter, the former First Lady of the United States who changed what it meant to serve in that role, has died. She was 96.

The Carter Center said the 96-year-old former first lady had died peacefully with family by her side.

“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” former President Jimmy Carter said in a statement. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”

On Friday, Carter had entered hospice care at home in Plains, Georgia. The family announced earlier this year that the former first lady had been diagnosed with dementia. The former president, now 99, entered hospice care at home in February.
