Former US President Jimmy Carter died on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100, in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. His death has sparked a flood of condolences from politicians and civilians alike, who remember him as a humble and dedicated public servant.
Judge Lynn Toler, best known for her role on the television show “Divorce Court,” is among others who have paid tribute. In a touching letter, she shared her sympathies, adding, “REST IN PEACE, JIMMY CARTER. 🕯️ The oldest living U.S. president of all time died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia.” “Praying for the Carter family.”
Judge Toler’s speech matches the feelings of many people who valued Carter’s dedication to public duty and humanitarian work. After serving as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, Carter committed his post-presidential years to philanthropic endeavours, including the development of the Carter Centre for Human Rights and Disease Eradication. His efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter’s legacy is defined by his attempts to promote peace, advocate for human rights, and provide public service. President Joe Biden declared a national day of mourning following Carter’s death, describing him as “a man of character, courage, and compassion, whose lifetime of service defined him as one of the most influential statesmen in our history.”
As the country considers Carter’s contributions, Judge Toler’s memorial highlights the universal regard and affection for a leader whose influence lasted far beyond his presidential term. Her message strikes a chord with many people who lament the death of a character associated with honesty and service.
