Jimmy Carter, the 99-year-old former U.S. President, recently made a poignant and rare public appearance at the memorial service for his beloved wife, Rosalynn Carter. The event took place at Glenn Memorial Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
This marked a significant moment as it was Jimmy Carter’s first public outing since September, when he and Rosalynn rode together in the Plains Peanut Festival parade. The Carters, who have largely retreated from the spotlight due to health challenges, graced the occasion with their presence.
The memorial featured classical music, beloved hymns, and passages from the Bible, paying tribute to Rosalynn’s remarkable life.
Notably, all living U.S. first ladies and multiple presidents were in attendance, underscoring the profound impact Rosalynn had on American history and public life.
Jimmy Carter, known for his humility and dedication to service, will turn 99 years old on October 1st.
