Former first lady Rosalynn Carter dies at 96

[@stevemellgard6393]

Pure grace and dignity. Rest in peace Rosalynn.

[@willieduffie4967]

Yes indeed🙏

[@s.d.3492]

I’m very sad. She along with her husband were true humanitarians. Humility, compassion and kindness are the words that come to mind.

[@davetomlin5246]

What a nice human being. Easy tempered, classy and polite. And objective was to focus on those with less means. Boy, we could use so.many.more like her today.May her soul be eternally blessed!

[@valsainking]

Yes, we certainly could use some of her class and humanity nowadays. Sheer greed seems to be consuming the US, but the Carters will always remain shining examples of what charitable greatness we are still capable of if we only learned to listen to our better selves with greater consistency. Mrs. Carter leaves a tremendous void in our nation's collective sense of moral purpose.

Rosalynn Carter was the wind beneath James Carter’s wings and like a breath of fresh air for our nation. She was strong and dedicated to her faith, family and nation throughout most of her life. We are grateful for her support and devotion to her husband and years of service to our country. This former First Lady was truly a steel magnolia. May she RIP. My heartfelt condolences to former President Carter and his family.

She had a long and fruitful life. She gave of herself tirelessly. Deepest condolences to her family at this painful time.

[@edl6398]

This is very sad. She walked the walk and talked the talk of her faith. I hope she will always be an example to others about what it means to be a decent, kind and giving human being.

Mrs. Carter was an example for us all. May she walk in eternal beauty. My deepest condolences to President Carter, the family and everyone at the Carter Center, and their friends.

[@davidcarr7436]

I'm not an American, I'm a Canadian, but President Carter and his wife Rosalyn were not strangers to this country, or to my city, Winnipeg in particular. They traveled here several times over the last couple of decades to help in building homes with Habitat For Humanity. They were both outgoing, friendly and obliging. In fact, they were the embodiment of Southern charm. My deepest condolences to President Carter, his family and to America. RIP Rosalyn 🙏

[@donnavorce8856]

I often think of the people who actually live in the homes the President and First Lady had a direct hand in constructing. What an amazing honor it would be to live in a Carter built H4H house.

[@stevemellgard6393]

@@aislinnkeilah7361 LBJ? Maybe you should read up on the civil rights movement. Maybe while you're at it the Iran contra affair. The name Ollie North ring any bells? It's not like Jimmy Carter made social security a taxable income while giving the ultra rich massive tax breaks or anything like that. Carter came into office after Nixon/ Ford. The nation was going through rough times when he took office. Reagan was truly responsible for the downfall of the American working class. Trickle down anyone?

[@bonniebreckenridge5236]

I have tears in my eyes, not just because of the passing of a person who gave so much kindness and love to the world, but because every comment is a testament in acknowledgement of it.

Rosalynn Carter and Jimmy Carter were in office when I arrived in America as an immigrant. They represented all that was ethical, fair, generous, democratic, and gracious in the White House. I loved President Carter, and loved First Lady Rosalynn Carter very much. What a great lady. A class act. She was hard working, humble, driven, supportive, took up causes, did a lot of good in the world, and made me proud to be an American. After they left office, it was never the same. I am deeply saddened by her passing. She was a truly great human being. Sending my deepest condolences to President Carter and his family. She will be missed. I mourn with you today. 🌹🕯🙏
