En 1927, en Plains, Georgia, un niño de tres años llamado Jimmy Carter vivía al lado de un mecánico de automóviles, Francis Smith, y su esposa embarazada, Allie. Ese agosto, Allie se puso de parto y la madre de Jimmy, una enfermera, ayudó a dar a luz a su hija. Al día siguiente, el pequeño Jimmy fue a la casa de al lado y miró dentro de la cuna. El bebé que estaba dentro se llamaba Rosalynn.

Cuando era adolescente, “Rosie” estaba muy enamorada de Jimmy, pero él era tres años mayor y aparentemente no le prestaba mucha atención al tímido chico de al lado. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, dejó la ciudad para unirse a la Academia Naval.

Un día del verano de 1945, Jimmy regresó a Plains de vacaciones. Mientras viajaba en el asiento ruidoso del Ford de un amigo, miró hacia la Iglesia Metodista Unida y vio a Rosie, que ahora tenía diecisiete años y era toda una adulta, parada al frente. Estaba atónito.

Jimmy saltó del asiento ruidoso y la invitó al cine. Ella intervino de inmediato. Él llegó a casa esa noche y le dijo a su madre que el bebé que ella había ayudado a dar a luz diecisiete años antes era la chica con la que se iba a casar.

Jimmy y Rosalynn celebraron su 77.º aniversario de bodas en junio de 2023. El suyo es el matrimonio más largo en la historia presidencial. Se conocían desde hace casi cien años.

Eleanor Rosalynn Carter murió el 19 de noviembre de 2023

Jimmy Carter ha estado en un centro de cuidados paliativos durante casi un año y medio y realmente está, y cree, que está llegando al final de sus días.

    Carter was actually one of the early nuclear submariners while in the US Navy.
    Thank you for your service, Mr. carter !

    Their marriage lasted longer than the average life span of an average human and at a time where most relationships and marriages can’t even last 10 years

    O lindo amor deles é como foi o amor do meu querido avô; forte, inabalável, lindo de ver. Assim como sua fé. Eles nos lembram de uma época mais graciosa. E eu gostaria de agradecer a ambos por tudo que vocês fizeram pelas pessoas.

    Young Rosalyn looks a bit like Judy Garland 🙂
    Great Lady. One of the best 1st ladies ever.

    What an endearing couple. Condolences to all family, esp. Pres. Carter who loved and admired Rosalyn so much as his equal…the way it should be. They were so lucky to have found one another. Sad that her death is the reason I’ve revisited all the accomplishments of this amazing woman via all the media presentations about her, but I’m SO GLAD for the reminders of her. She was an inspiration to me in my younger years. She will go down in history as one of the most hard working 1st Ladies…walking the talk. Only she and Eleanor Roosevelt going before Congress to advocate causes…
    RIP, sweet Rosalyn Carter.

    People judge Jimmy Carter for the 4 years in the Whitehouse. But his accomplishments as a man are reflected in a century of years of his life.

    Habitat for Humanity is just one of the wonderful things he helped to birth, and move forward. He was a working former President – out and about, no rocking on the porch for HIM. When he is called Home it will be the end of a life well-lived, serving others. We can learn much from this amazing gentleman.

    Regardless of politics, he lived a respectable life after his time in office. I wish him as much peace and comfort in this life

    Jimmy Carter: perhaps the most underrated president of recent times, who accomplished a great deal during his single term. Forced to “retire” at age 56, he has made good use of his talents on behalf of those less fortunate; and enjoyed hobbies such as hiking, fishing, and woodworking. And let Republicans, Evangelicals, or other self-righteous windbags lecture the Carters on family values or the sanctity of marriage. We should all be as fortunate.

    He’s a great man and I hope he has more years to come. He’s probably one of the last honest presidents and had so much integrity and kindness in him and we’re so far away from that today. I know he was led by a different code than most others. He did everything he could to live like God wanted him to and may God continue to bless these wonderful two people. Thanks President Carter for giving us all an example to live like.
