The youngest, Amy Carter, born in 1967, grew up in the White House and later became involved in activism.
The Carter family faced significant challenges, including Jimmy Carter‘s transition to hospice care in February 2023 and Rosalynn Carter‘s dementia diagnosis in November 2023. Sadly, Rosalynn passed away on November 19, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones.
