Rosalynn Carter was diagnosed with dementia, her family said in May.
She lay in repose at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta on Monday.
Since his single term as president, Jimmy Carter has lived more post-White House years than any president before him, and Rosalynn played an instrumental role during those years, building the Carter Center nonprofit and the Habitat for Humanity charity.
