Farewell Ceremonies Begin for Former President Jimmy Carter

Carter, 94, has taught Sunday school at the church on a regular basis since leaving the White House in 1981, drawing hundreds of visitors who arrive hours before the 10:00 am lesson in order to get a seat and have a photograph taken with the former President and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

Former President Jimmy Carter, who redefined the post-presidency through humanitarian efforts, passed away on Sunday at 100. Carter, the longest-living U.S. president, entered hospice care in February 2023 in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Carter’s single presidential term (1977–1981) was marked by significant achievements, including the Camp David Accords, which forged peace between Egypt and Israel, and his dedication to human rights. However, challenges like the Iran hostage crisis and domestic economic woes overshadowed his administration.

After leaving office, Carter’s legacy grew through philanthropy. He and his wife Rosalynn founded the Carter Center in Atlanta, focusing on global health, democracy, and peace. Carter also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, building homes for those in need. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his diplomacy and humanitarian work.

“People will be celebrating Jimmy Carter for hundreds of years,” noted historian Douglas Brinkley.

Born in Plains on October 1st, 1924, Carter left a promising Navy career after his father’s death to manage the family farm. This path led him to politics, becoming Georgia’s governor in 1970 and later, the 39th president of the United States.

Carter’s commitment to public service earned him and Rosalynn numerous accolades, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Bill Clinton remarked, “Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter have done more good things for more people in more places than any other couple on the face of the Earth.”

Carter is survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
