Former President Jimmy Carter is expected to attend his wife's memorial service Tuesday in Atlanta. It will be held at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church, which is on the campus of Emory University.

Current U.S. President Joe Biden is also scheduled to attend the service, along with First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and First Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

All the living former first ladies - Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump - will be in attendance, according to the Carter Center.

Carter's body was driven by motorcade to the Carter President Library and Museum Monday from Plains in south Georgia. She will be returned to Plains for burial.
