Jimmy Carter Attends Memorial Service Honoring 77-Year Marriage to jimmy carter’s wife

Memorial Church in Atlanta, drawing political figures, including the Bidens. In a genuinely uncommon moment, former President Jimmy Carter, who’s been under hospice care since February, emerged publicly. Wearing a brand-new suit, the 99-year-old ex-president sat in the front row at Glenn Memorial Church at Emory University. He shared a profoundly moving and sincere tribute to his late wife, Rosalynn Carter, who departed earlier this month. Accompanied by a physician, Carter left his home in Plains for the memorial.

Draped in a blanket bearing her face, Carter listened as their daughter, Amy, seated beside her father, held his hand steadfastly throughout the service. “My mom devoted most of her life to loving my dad. Their partnership and love story were the defining features of her life,” she shared. “Since he can’t address you today, I’ll convey some of his sentiments about loving and missing her.”

Feeling for jimmy carter’s wife

In a heartfelt letter, Jimmy Carter shared his soul with Jimmy carter’s wife, saying, “I try to convince myself that you really aren’t and could not be as sweet and beautiful as I remember while I’m away. But every time I see you, I fall head over heels in love with you. Do you think that’s strange? I’m not bothered by it.”

A dozen political figures graced the small-scale memorial service for Rosalynn Carter, who died peacefully on November 19 at 96, adding a touch of elegance to the sad occasion.

The service, beginning at 1 p.m., featured music from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performed “Imagine.” The program, aligned with Rosalynn’s wishes, included specific songs, scriptures, and speakers.

Personal anecdotes were shared by the Carters’ personal pastor, and readings were done by some of the former first lady’s children and grandchildren. Journalist Judy Woodruff paid tribute, highlighting Rosalynn’s role as more than a warm host but a close and trusted adviser.

Jason Carter, Rosalynn’s grandson

Jason Carter, Rosalynn’s grandson, shared stories of his grandmother, portraying her as the “rock” of the family and an “adventurer.” “As Rev. Warnock told me, my grandmother doesn’t need a eulogy; her life was a sermon,” he said.

While President Biden did not speak, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre noted that he and first lady Jill Biden looked forward to “offering their condolences and participating in the event by attending.”

The longstanding relationship between Biden and the Carters, dating back to 1976 when Biden endorsed Carter for the presidency, has been marked by mutual respect. Earlier this year, Biden revealed that former President Carter asked him to deliver his eulogy.

Following Rosalynn Carter’s passing, the Bidens acknowledged the couple’s great integrity, stating, “First Lady Rosalynn Carter walked her own path, inspiring a nation and the world along the way.”
