Jimmy Carter—the 39th president of the United States, who died on Dec. 29 at 100—was laid to rest at the Georgia home he shared with wife Rosalynn Carter.

Former President Jimmy Carter will be laid to rest in his hometown of Plains, Georgia on Thursday night. He will be buried next to his wife, Rosalynn Carter, outside the home they lived in for decades.

Jimmy Carter told his grandson that he was "ready" to see his late wife in the weeks leading up to his death. The former POTUS passed away at 100 years old on Sunday, December 29, following his battle with cancer — just over one year after Rosalynn Carter died in November 2023.

I t was the summer of 2015 when former president Jimmy Carter revealed a dire diagnosis: melanoma had spread to his liver and brain. As he made peace with the news, receiving treatment at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, a nearby artist responded from the heart.

Jimmy Carter, a U.S. president who served only one term but was widely admired for his humanitarian work after leaving the White House, was remembered during his state funeral on Thursday as a man who put honesty and kindness above partisan politics.
