Former President Jimmy Carter to Attend Services Honoring the Late First Lady Rosalynn Carter

Former President Jimmy Carter is in Atlanta to attend services honoring the late first lady Rosalynn Carter. The former first lady and humanitarian passed away on November 19th at the age of 96. On Monday, members of the public are invited to pay their respects at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum.

President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris are also expected to attend the services. A source with knowledge of the former president’s whereabouts said that he is expected to attend a ceremony on Monday at the Carter Center as well as services on Tuesday at Emory University, but it depends on how well he rests and how he is feeling.

Rosalynn Carter’s remains were transported via motorcade to Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia, and the public was invited to pay its respects along the motorcade route. Jimmy Carter, 99, entered hospice care in February and has since rarely been seen in public.

A spokesperson for the Carter Center confirmed separately on Monday that Carter would attend a tribute service on Tuesday at Glenn Memorial Church. The service is expected to be a celebration of Rosalynn Carter’s life and legacy.
