At 98 years old, he holds the distinction of being the oldest living president since 2018.
Carter faced a battle with brain cancer in 2015 and underwent brain surgery in 2019. Beyond his presidential tenure, he has worn many hats, including peanut farmer, Navy Lieutenant, Sunday School teacher, and dedicated volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. He resides in Plains, Georgia, alongside his wife Rosalynn, and they share four children.
Absolutely, let’s keep Jimmy Carter and his family in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate this challenging time.
