Jeanne Cahill has spent a lifetime answering the call to serve. Born in rural South Georgia during the Great Depression, she grew up in a family where hard work and responsibility were second nature. From an early age, she embraced the role of helper-whether gathering eggs, swinging younger siblings to sleep, or sweeping the porch with a broom twice her height. That same sense of duty and initiative carried her far beyond the farm, shaping a remarkable life that would take her from a small-town schoolhouse to the White House.A lifelong volunteer and advocate, Jeanne's passion for public service led her into the political arena long before she was even old enough to vote. At just 18, she worked behind the scenes on a gubernatorial campaign. The next election cycle, she supported a candidate who would later become her husband of 55 years. Together, they admired a rising Georgia politician named Jimmy Carter, and Jeanne soon found herself deeply involved in his successful gubernatorial and presidential campaigns.Governor Carter appointed her to the Georgia Commission on the Status of Women, where she chaired a groundbreaking movement advocating for women's rights with the support of both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. Later, as a White House appointee to the Conference on Families, she traveled the country, witnessing firsthand the ideological battles shaping American society.When political tides shifted, Jeanne didn't slow down, she adapted. Rejected from traditional jobs because her extensive volunteer work "didn't count," she founded Advanced Fitness Systems in Atlanta's Buckhead district, running it successfully for a decade before selling the business and returning to the world that meant the most to her-public service. She went back to college at 75, graduating as valedictorian of Berry College's class of 2007.Now in her 90s, Jeanne remains as active as ever. Whether serving on boards, tending to her historic Hapeville home, or making weekly trips to care for her son, she refuses to "think old, act old, or dress old." Her memoir, Call Me Jeanne, is a testament to resilience, family, and the enduring power of love.
