I was too young to remember her as a First Lady but seemed like a genuinely good person.

She didn't outlast her husband, who has been on hospice care for some months now.

Those two have had some impressive longevity. RIP Mrs. Carter.

Edited: fixed typo. I meant she didn't outlast him.

She just entered hospice a couple of days ago. Jimmy has been in hospice care for most of this year.

Married 77 years!

She was indeed. The Carters were the last Democrats in the executive that truly loved the country. Unfortunately, Jimmy had a lot of poor ideas but he was a good man and Rosalyn a good First Lady.

Hate losing people of this generation whether I agree with them politically or not.

She had dementia so part of willing himself to hang on for her likely has been a factor. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if he follows shortly.

Most likely cancer; he was diagnosed with it some years ago, and it was treated and in remission, but at his age, would not be a surprise if it came back.

Edit: It was melanoma which metastasized to his brain.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

At one point he had a brain tumor, IIRC.

Yep, I went and looked it up and edited my post about the time you were posting.

The immunotherapy he got must have been good since IIRC survival rates from metastatic melanoma is often rather grim.

(Lt) Jimmy and Rosaline are members of the greatest generation. Their like may never be seen again.

She didn't outlast him, he is still alive.

But neither of them have been well for a long time. Honestly, it's amazing they're still around. They were good people but he was still a horrible president but now at least he has Obama and Biden in front of him as worse.

I don't know anyone who is married 77 years. Very impressive.
RIP. Sad news. She seemed like a fine lady.

Not to speak ill of the recently deceased but she did have her moments of bitterness.

And you don't?
Literally, she died.

Do you want people to say you just were so bitter when you die?


She was a good woman.
There is no reason for this.

No, she's a butterball of bitterness, anger, and self-righteousness.

Does your post make you feel better?

One of the things I've worked on as I've gotten older is when to not speak at all.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Meh, she stood loyally by her bigoted, hateful husband, so she was pretty loyal, I will give her that.

My mistake. Apologies for not doing my due diligence.

There is plenty to say about Jimmy Carter -- mediocre President and a disaster as a former President -- but I don't remember anything about him being bigoted and hateful.

Maybe you shouldn't have spoke at all.
