At 95, Rosalynn Carter "continues to live, happily, at home with her husband," her family said. "We hope that sharing this news will allow us to talk more about this important topic," she added.

Jimmy Carter held the White House from 1977 to 1981 and served only one term. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for "his decades of tireless efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts" for his efforts to end the Cold War in the 1980s.
