The death of Rosalynn Carter, first lady to former President Jimmy Carter, reverberated throughout America Sunday, and the current president and first lady were among those commemorating the life of a “great American.”
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden released a statement Sunday to address the death of their “dear friend.” In it, they said, “Rosalynn Carter walked her own path, inspiring a nation and the world along the way.”

The statement addressed the life of the first lady of Georgia and eventually the nation, saying she “was a champion for equal rights and opportunities for women and girls; an advocate for mental health and wellness for every person; and a supporter of the often unseen and uncompensated caregivers of our children, aging loved ones, and people with disabilities.”
The Bidens touched on a common thread among remembrance statements for the former first lady — the love shared between her and her husband.
“Above all, the deep love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership, and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism. She lived her life by her faith.”
Jimmy Carter is reportedly in hospice care.
“Time and time again, during the more than four decades of our friendship – through rigors of campaigns, through the darkness of deep and profound loss – we always felt the hope, warmth, and optimism of Rosalynn Carter. She will always be in our hearts,” the statement continued.

“On behalf of a grateful nation, we send our love to President Carter, the entire Carter family, and the countless people across our nation and the world whose lives are better, fuller, and brighter because of the life and legacy of Rosalynn Carter,” the Bidens said.
The statement from the Bidens comes as President Biden turns 81 Monday.
