Governor Whitmer Statement on Passing of First Lady Rosalynn Carter 

 

LANSING, Mich. – Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued the following statement on the passing of former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter.  

 

"First Lady Rosalynn Carter was a strong American woman who set a powerful example for us all to follow. 

 

From her efforts as a pioneering advocate for mental health to the hard work she did building houses alongside her husband with Habitat for Humanity, Mrs. Carter dedicated her long life to making a real difference in other people’s lives.  

 

She and President Carter shared a 77 year marriage, an inspiring model for love and effective partnership. My thoughts—and those of the people of Michigan—are with President Carter, their four children, and their entire family.”
