Rosalynn Carter, former First Lady and advocate for mental health, will celebrate her 96th birthday on Friday surrounded by her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, and other family members. Plains, Georgia, where the couple were born, married, and where Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential campaign was launched, will honor Rosalynn's years of public health advocacy and her unwavering support of her husband’s work. The Carter Center announced that Rosalynn will have a quiet birthday celebration as she navigates dementia and the former president continues to receive hospice care.
