U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden helped ead tributes to Rosalynn Carter, the former U.S. First Lady who died on Nov. 19 at age 96, at a memorial service in Atlanta on Tuesday. Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Bill Clinton and former first ladies Melania Trump, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama are also due to take part.

Carter's husband, former President Jimmy Carter, who called her "an extension of myself" and has been in hospice care at home, was expected to attend the service at the Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church, his office said. Carter and her husband were the longest-married U.S. presidential couple, having wed in 1946 when he was 21 and she was 18.

Rosalynn Carter was diagnosed with dementia, her family said in May. She died shortly after entering hospice care at home in Plains, Georgia, alongside her husband, a Democrat who gave his wife a prominent voice during his 1977-1981 presidency and supported her advocacy for the cause of mental health.

She lay in repose at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta on Monday. Her funeral will be held on Wednesday at the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, the Carters' small rural hometown, before an internment at the family residence.
