Former President Jimmy Carter and Wife Rosalynn Always Prioritized Their Family: Meet Their Kids
Former President Jimmy Carter and his late wife Rosalynn Carter’s love story was one for the ages. The couple welcomed four children after getting married in 1946: John “Jack” Carter, James “Chip” Carter, Donnel “Jeff” Carter and Amy Carter.
Jimmy served in the U.S. Navy from 1946 to 1953. The pair lived on different bases across the U.S. throughout that time. During the politician’s naval service, he and his wife welcomed their first child together, son Jack, in 1947. Their second son, Chip, arrived in 1950. Jeff was born in 1952 followed by the duo’s only daughter, Amy, in 1967.
Rosalynn died at age 96 at their Plains, Georgia, home on November 19, 2023, with her family by her side, The Carter Center announced in a statement. On December 29, 2024, Jimmy died at age 100.
“My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” Chip said in a statement.
