  • A memorial service for Rosalynn Carter was held in Atlanta on Tuesday, November 28.
  • In attendance were all living U.S. first ladies and the 99 year-old Jimmy Carter.

Ninety-nine-year-old former President Jimmy Carter, ten months into home hospice care, attended the memorial service for his wife, Rosalynn, on Tuesday. He hadn't been publicly seen since his September appearance at a Georgia festival. The two were married for 77 years.

The former first lady died on November 19 at home in Plains, Georgia, at age 96.

Tuesday's tribute service is part of a three-day series of events in remembrance of the former first lady.

All living U.S. first ladies attended, as did the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, and prominent elected officials from Georgia.
