The former first lady Rosalynn Carter speaks to the press at conference at The Carter Center on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019, in Atlanta. Rosalynn Carter, the 96-year-old former first lady, is in hospice care at home, the Carter Center says.

Plans have been announced for events honoring former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Ceremonies begin Monday morning with a motorcade from Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in the Americas to the Rosalynn Carter Health and Human Services Complex at Georgia Southwestern University.

Then the motorcade heads to The Carter Presidential Center where members of the public will be able to pay their respects from 6 to 10 pm as Mrs. Carter lies in Repose. On Tuesday the motorcade travels to Glenn Memorial Church at Emory University for a tribute service with guests at 1 pm.

Wednesday, the funeral procession will arrive at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains for an 11 am service for family and invited friends, and then the casket will depart for a private burial at the Carter family residence.
