Florida Gov. DeSantis ordered flags at half-staff in honor of former First Lady of the United States Rosalynn Carter.
On November 19, 2023, former First Lady of the United States, Rosalynn Carter, passed away at the age of 96.
“Pursuant to the President’s orders and as a mark of respect, I hereby direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout the State of Florida from midnight November 25, 2023, until sunset on the day of interment,” DeSantis wrote Wednesday.
Carter was a lifelong champion of mental health, caregiving, rights for women, and more during her decades of public service to the country. The former president, in a statement on Sunday, called his wife “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished.”
“She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
