Final arrangements are still being made to honor the life of Jimmy Carter, 39^th president of the United States and winner of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, who died peacefully Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family, according to The Carter Center. He was 100, the longest-lived president in U.S. history.
