At 98 years old, Carter, the 39th president, has outlived George H.W. Bush by just under four years – something that seemed unlikely in 2015, when Carter announced that cancer had spread to his brain.

His seemingly most important milestone arrived in 2020, when he celebrated his 75th wedding anniversary with Rosalynn Carter, which made the Carters the longest-married presidential couple in history.

“The best thing I ever did was marry Rosalynn,” Carter said in a C-SPAN interview at The Carter Center in 2015. “That’s the pinnacle of my life.”
