RIP, First Lady Rosalynn Carter — who enjoyed 77 years of marriage with President Jimmy Carter! 💒

I was profoundly moved by an interview the Carters did a few years ago, where they talked about The Carter Center’s focus on eradicating guinea worm. 🧵

Mrs. Carter teared up as she shared memories of patients cured of guinea worm — which affected 3.5 million African people in 1986, but was reduced to 30 cases in 2017

For all the decorum and lauding that comes with Presidential life, this kind of thing that moved her the most ❤️

The Carters largely spent their time post White House on building #HabitatForHumanity homes & teaching Sunday school 🏡👷‍♀️

They embodied servants’ hearts, no matter their societal stature; I think the world would be a lot better off if we emulated them! 💞 Farewell, Rosalynn! 🕊️
