BISMARCK, N.D. (NOV. 21, 2023) – Gov. Doug Burgum has directed all government agencies to fly the United States and North Dakota flags at half-staff, and encourages North Dakotans to do the same at their homes and businesses, from Sat Nov 25 until sunset on the day of interment as a mark of respect for the memory of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 96.

The governor’s directive is in accordance with a proclamation issued by President Joe Biden. Funeral services are set for Nov. 29 for Carter, the wife of former President Jimmy Carter.
