Where will Rosalynn Carter be buried? Details of the former first lady's interment

Rosalynn Carter's final resting place will be near the first and only home she and her husband Jimmy Carter owned.

The Carters said years ago they would be buried by a willow tree on the property, The Washington Post reported in 2018. The family-only interment for Rosalynn, who died Nov. 19 died at age 96 after a brief stay in hospice care, at the Carter residence is scheduled for midday on Wednesday.

The Carters built the modest ranch-style house at 209 Woodland Drive, in Plains (Sumter County) in 1960 and moved in the following year ahead of Jimmy Carter's political career advancing from state senator to Georgia Governor and the 39th President of the United States.

The 2.4 acres includes a pond Jimmy Carter dug himself for fishing and a magnolia grown from a tree on the White House lawn that was planted by former President Andrew Jackson, the Post reported.

The Carters' house had four bedrooms at time of construction, according to the book "The Outlier: The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter," and was built for $10 per square foot. Subsequent work was done on the house in 1974, '81 and in the past decade.

Former President Jimmy Carter, 99, and Rosalynn were married for 77 years. Jimmy Carter has been in hospice care since February. Rosalynn Carter was diagnosed with dementia in May.

Jimmy was with Rosalynn when she died, their son James "Chip" Carter III told the Washington Post.

“My Dad told her he loved her and thanked her for all the wonderful things she had done,” he said. “Then he asked us to leave so he could be alone with her.”
