She did peacefully with her family by her side, a statement said.

A life well lived. The love of her life, Jimmy, will soon be joining her.

They were the best married couple in the White House in all of the 20th century (the Trumans came close). If they can be remembered for that, all the other failures will dim with time. See you in paradise, madame First Lady.

So did all editors.....
Definitely didn’t agree with their politics
But as I recall she was reasonably well-behaved in public AFAIK

Rosalyn Carter was a model First Lady. Unlike someone who followed her, she was proud to be a wife and mother who stayed home and baked cookies for her kids. That didn’t diminish her accomplishments as a political spouse, and she never exploited her husbands office to personally profit under the pretext of “having a career”. Also, no one questions the paternity of any of her children because she was a chaste wife. She will be missed.
