Former President Jimmy Carter began hospice care in February.
Former first girl Rosalynn Carter has entered hospice care at residence, 9 months after her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, began hospice care.
Rosalynn Carter, 96, and “President Carter are spending time with each other and their family,” their grandson stated in an announcement Friday.
In May, the Carter Center stated the previous first girl had been recognized with dementia.
“She continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying spring in Plains, [Georgia], and visits with loved ones,” the Carter Center stated in an announcement at the time.
Jimmy Carter, 99, is the oldest-living American president and the longest-living president in U.S. historical past. The Democrat served as president from 1977 to 1981, defeated in his bid for reelection by Ronald Reagan.
The Carters, who wed in 1946, are additionally the longest-married presidential couple in American historical past. The president advised ABC News two years in the past that marrying Rosalynn Carter was the “most important thing in my life.”
The couple made a uncommon public look this September, attending the Plains Peanut Festival of their Georgia hometown.
The Carters have 4 youngsters: three sons and one daughter. They are additionally the grandparents of 12 (one deceased) and great-grandparents to 14 youngsters, in keeping with the Jimmy Carter Library.
