FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA  — The public is invited to honor and celebrate First Lady Rosalynn Carter’s life and accomplishments at events Monday, Nov. 27, through Wednesday, Nov. 29, in Sumter County and Atlanta. Exact times are subject to change and the public should plan to be in place at least an hour in advance. Parking will be limited, and road closures are expected.

A brief wreath-laying ceremony will take place on Monday, Nov. 27, around 11 a.m. in front of Building 1 of the Rosalynn Carter Health and Human Sciences Complex at Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW) in Americus. GSW President Neal Weaver and Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers CEO Jennifer Olsen will place two wreaths at Mrs. Carter's bronze statue. The public must be in the designated viewing area in front of the Education Center up to an hour in advance if they wish to see the ceremony. Parking will be available, but limited, in the GSW Education Center, Library, Storm Dome, and softball/baseball field lots. Road closures are expected. More details can be found on the .

In Atlanta, Mrs. Carter’s body will lie in repose from 6 to 10 p.m. Monday, Nov. 27, at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta.

No public parking is available at the presidential center. Visitors should use shuttle buses. Buses will depart from the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church parking lot (436 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta, GA 30308) every 15 minutes from 5:30 to 9 p.m. and return to St. Luke’s. Because parking space at St. Luke’s is limited, the public is urged to carpool or use MARTA rail; MARTA’s Civic Center Station is one block west of St. Luke’s.

In lieu of flowers, Mrs. Carter requested that donations be made to the 黑料不打烊 Mental Health Program or the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers. In Atlanta, those who wish to give flowers may lay them in front of the large granite-and-steel sign at the main entrance to the Carter Presidential Center. In Plains, flowers may be left near the Jimmy Carter Monument downtown.
