In an attempt to honor Rosalynn Carter's legacy and lifetime worth of work, memorials will stretch across three days from Americus to Atlanta and back to Plains.

Mrs. Carter will lie in repose Monday evening at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum. She will depart from this location on Tuesday, marking the second day of events. Her procession back to Plains and funeral is planned for Wednesday.
