Betty White spent nearly a century making people laugh. From her early days in radio to her iconic roles as Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls, she became one of the most beloved figures in television history.
On December 31, 2021, Betty passed away peacefully in her sleep – just weeks before her 100th birthday. What her fans didn’t know was that her team had already filmed a special birthday message for her, just days before she died.
After her passing, they released it anyway. In the clip, Betty looked into the camera and said: “I just want to thank you all for your love and support over the years. Thank you so much, and stick around,”
Her assistant later shared one of the final photos ever taken of her, taken just days before – a woman who, to the very end, was as full of life and warmth as ever.
“I believe it’s one of the last photos of her. She was radiant and beautiful and as happy as ever. Thanks to all of you who are doing kind things today and every day to make the world a better place,” her assistant wrote.
Betty White may be gone, but the joy she gave the world hasn’t gone anywhere at all.
Days before she passed, Betty White recorded one final message for the fans who loved her most. 🥹
