"During her time in the White House, Rosalynn Carter redefined the role of First Lady.

On her trips abroad, Mrs. Carter worked to advance human rights and human dignity," Harris' statement said.

"As a humanitarian, a public servant, and a global leader, Mrs. Carter improved the lives of millions — and inspired countless more to dedicate their lives to service. Her legacy will be a beacon for generations to come."

Former first lady Michelle Obama also paid tribute to Rosalynn in a post on X, touching on their shared experience in their White House roles. "You learn very quickly that there is no handbook or rules to being First Lady. Technically, it’s not even an official position. And while there are spoken and unspoken expectations that provide some structure, the role is largely shaped by the passions and aspirations of the person holding it. First Lady Rosalynn Carter understood that well," she wrote.

前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马也在社交网站X上表达了对罗莎琳的敬意，谈到了她们在白宫的共同经历。“你很快就会发现，做第一夫人没有手册或规则。严格来说，这甚至不是一个官方职位。虽然有说出口和说出口的期望提供了一些结构，但这个角色在很大程度上是由担任这个角色的人的激情和抱负塑造的。第一夫人罗莎琳·卡特深知这一点，”她写道。

"Guided by her abiding faith and her commitment to service, Mrs. Carter used her platform in profoundly meaningful ways. Her groundbreaking work to combat the stigma faced by those struggling with their mental health brought light to so many suffering in silence," Obama continued.

“在她坚定的信念和对服务的承诺的指引下，卡特夫人以非常有意义的方式利用了她的平台。她的开创性工作为那些与精神疾病作斗争的人带来了耻辱，让许多人在沉默中受苦。”

"Today, Barack and I join the world in celebrating the remarkable legacy of a First Lady, philanthropist, and advocate who dedicated her life to lifting up others. Her life is a reminder that no matter who we are, our legacies are best measured not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch," Obama added.

“今天，巴拉克和我与全世界一起庆祝这位第一夫人、慈善家和倡导者的非凡遗产，她一生致力于帮助他人。她的生活提醒我们，无论我们是谁，我们的遗产最好不是用奖项或荣誉来衡量，而是用我们所接触的生活来衡量。”
