The Governor says that this order is in memory of the former First Lady of Georgia and First Lady of the United States's "lifelong work, passion, and commitment as an advocate for women, caregivers of children and aging families, and the disabled and mental health communities."

Flags are to be lowered at sunrise on Nov. 25 until sunset, the day of Carter's internment.
