Rosalynn Carter was remembered Tuesday as a former U.S. first lady who leveraged her fierce intellect and political power to put her deep Christian faith into action by always helping others, especially those who needed it most.

ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter is in Atlanta, expected to attend services Monday and Tuesday honoring the late first lady Rosalynn Carter, according to a source with knowledge of his whereabouts.

Jimmy Carter said more than once that he’d found an equal partner in his wife, and he invited her to sit in on Cabinet meetings during his single term in the Oval Office. As first lady, she led a campaign to destigmatize talking about and seeking help for mental health, which included calling out journalists who used flippant terms like “crazy.”

Scheduled observances honoring former first lady Rosalynn Carter began with a wreath laying at her alma mater Georgia Southwestern State University.
