The writer, activist, and former First Lady who served the United States of America from 1977 to 1981 died at the age of 96 just days after entering hospice care.

The news comes just six months after Rosalynn was diagnosed with dementia, whereas it was confirmed that she was surrounded by her family in Plains, Georgia, as she was on her deathbed.

The couple’s son, Chip Carter, added: “Besides being a loving mother and extraordinary First Lady, my mother was a great humanitarian in her own right.

“Her life of service and compassion was an example for all Americans. She will be sorely missed not only by our family but by the many people who have better mental health care and access to resources for caregiving today.”
