Habitat for Humanity Lakeside is mourning the death of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
In a statement to Seehafer News, the organization called her “a champion and strong voice for affordable, decent housing for all.”
For more than three decades, she and President Jimmy Carter donated their time and leadership to Habitat for Humanity each year to build and improve homes around the world.
In 2016, Habitat named President and Mrs. Carter as the inaugural Habitat Humanitarians for their extraordinary dedication to service in alignment with Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Habitat Lakeside Executive Director, Niki Zohrab reflected on the Carters’ work, saying “She stands as an example to all of us, that when we lend a hand to others, everyone benefits.”
We were proud to be a part of Habitat alongside her and pray that her legacy will continue to live on, building hope in every Habitat community.”
