PLAINS, Ga. (WALB) - At the end of three days of services and commemorations, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter will be laid to rest on Wednesday, Nov. 29. Here’s the route her motorcade will take.
President Joe Biden signed H.R. 9600 into law over the weekend, authorizing the renaming of the post office at 119 Main Street in the Carters' hometown.
The Carters put Plains, Ga., a town of fewer than 700 people — not much bigger than when Carter was born Oct. 1, 1924 — on the world stage.
Stephanie Young came in early and put out a sign out front of her store on Main Street. "Well done, Good and faithful servant. You will be missed! Rosalynn Carter," it read.
Outside of the church and throughout plains, people lined the streets. They waved flags and signs in honor of the president. Shenita James traveled from Parrot, Georgia to pay her respects.
