She died last Sunday at the age of 96.

President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are expected to attend Tuesday's tribute service at Glenn Memorial Church at Emory University. Mr. Biden last week ordered the flags at the White House to be flown half-staff out of respect for Rosalynn.

It's not yet known how much of the events Jimmy Carter, her husband of 77 years, will attend. "It all depends on his health," said the couple's son, Chip Carter, to The Washington Post. Jimmy Carter entered hospice care in February. Chip Carter said he was having a suit made since none of his suits currently fit due to his ill health.
