STATEMENT FROM PEACE CORPS DIRECTOR CAROL SPAHN ON THE PASSING OF FORMER FIRST LADY ROSALYNN CARTER

(Washington, D.C. | Monday, November 20, 2023) – We mourn the passing of a remarkable woman, First Lady Rosalynn Carter, whose grace, dedication, and compassion have left an indelible mark on the world. Mrs. Carter's unwavering commitment to service, both within the United States and abroad, resonates profoundly with the mission and values of the Peace Corps.

She was a beacon of hope and a tireless advocate to alleviate the suffering of others and promote human dignity. Her legacy of service to others will continue to inspire future generations of Peace Corps Volunteers. Our thoughts are with the Carter family as they honor the incredible life of Mrs. Carter.
