WHO'S THE OLDEST FORMER PREIDENT NOW?

Now that Gerald Ford has passed, may he rest in peace, who of the remaining former Presidents might take the lead as the oldest living President? I'm thinking maybe Jimmy Carter. Also, who might be the oldest living former first lady? On that I'm thinking Betty Ford, the late Gerald Ford's wife.
Help me out here folks- I need a presidential history lesson today.

Apparently Lady Bird was born 12/22/1912 but I can not find a date of death for her so I say she IS the oldest living former first lady @ 94
