Jimmy Carter remained committed to caring for his wife, Rosalynn, until the end, despite concerns about his deteriorating health, according to his son, Chip Carter.
Rosalynn passed away on November 19 at the age of 96, joining her husband in hospice care. The former First Lady, known for her humanitarian work, had been diagnosed with dementia six months earlier.
Jimmy, at 99, made the difficult decision to be alone with Rosalynn as her health declined, and they shared a hospice bed for their final moments together.
Despite uncertainties about their order of passing, Jimmy expressed his dedication to protecting Rosalynn.
