Rosalynn Carter was a lot of things — a grandmother, an adventurer, and someone with “unshakable strength,” her grandson, Jason Carter, said at a tribute service in her honor on Tuesday.

“My grandmother doesn’t need a eulogy, her life was a sermon,” he said.

He said her life was a “testament to the power of faith and love,” pointing to her 77-year marriage to Jimmy Carter, who their grandson said “inspired the world.”

Despite her high-profile role in the White House, Jason said she was still a very normal grandmother.

“Almost all of her recipes call for mayonnaise, for example. We all got cards from her on our birthdays — $20 bill in it,” he said.

Jason also talked about a time when his grandmother took out a Tupperware of pimento cheese and bread on an airplane and made everyone sandwiches. He said that anecdote demonstrated how much she loved people, getting laughs from the crowd gathered in the church.

“She was a rock for our family,” but she was also an “adventurer, a voyager, a mountain climber.”

“I know that she went to the Everest base camp in Nepal and I can guarantee you that she was looking up at that thing and thinking, ‘If they would just let me,’” he said. “And based on what she did, I think she could have done it,” he added.

Jason said his grandmother had “unshakable strength and powerful faith.” He talked about how Rosalynn would open her heart up to people all over the country and to advocate fiercely for things that mattered to her and other Americans, including mental health.

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s casket was carried out of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church after her tribute service concluded following Pastor Tony Lowden’s benediction.

“You’ve heard everything about this brave soul. You heard that she was from Plains, Georgia. You heard the fact that she loved and that she had compassion even for a butterfly,” Lowden said.

“She’s alive. She’s resting in the arms of Jesus. We ask that you comfort every person here today as her sons and daughters of the Secret Service take her back home to Plains,” he added.

Former President Jimmy Carter exited the church shortly after the casket and their motorcade has departed.

Rosalynn’s funeral is scheduled for Wednesday in Plains, Georgia.
