Governor Bill Haslam has ordered all flags at the State Capitol and State office buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of former First Lady Nancy Reagan.
The order comes after President Obama issued a proclamation earlier Monday morning.
Reagan died Sunday in Los Angeles from congestive heart failure. She was 94.
Obama said he once had the opportunity to meet with Reagan, and she could not have been more charming and gracious to him and Michelle Obama when he came into office.
"He [President Reagan] was lucky to have her, and I'm sure he would be the first to acknowledge that, so she will be missed," Obama said.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest, asked whether Obama would attend the funeral, said officials were waiting until funeral arrangements for the former first lady are settled before determining who will represent the White House at the service.
Flags would be raised back to full-staff at sunset on the day of interment.
