Jimmy Carter, 100, Dies in Plains, Georgia

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by family. Known for his humanitarian efforts and diplomatic initiatives, Carter's death has elicited tributes from global leaders, including President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. He will lie in repose in Atlanta and lie in state in Washington, D.C., before being buried next to his wife, Rosalynn, in Plains, where they had chosen their burial site years ago. Carter's legacy also includes strengthening US-India relations during his 1978 visit, which led to the village of Daulatpur Nasirabad being renamed Carterpuri in his honor. His connection to the village deepened through his mother's social work there in the 1960s, further cementing his impact in India. Residents of Plains and beyond are mourning his passing and celebrating his significant contributions to society and international relations.
