After spending his final days at home receiving hospice care following a short hospital stay in 2023, the sad news of his passing arrived.

Jimmy Carter holds the distinction of living longer than any other former president. He and his late wife hold the record of the longest-married presidential couple.

Jimmy Carter was the first U.S. president to live to be 100 years old — a feat made even more incredible by the fact that he was alive for 40% of the nation’s history. When Carter was born in 1924, former President Calvin Coolidge was nearing the end of his first term and was just a month away from his second presidential election.
