Betty White has been known to be an animal lover for a lifetime and she worked endlessly to raise both finances and awareness for this noble cause.

“Betty’s love for animals as she says started in the womb…. She had an uncanny way of communicating with all types of 4-legged creatures…The animals just knew through Betty’s voice and body movement that she meant no harm,” Jeff Witjas, White’s agent previously stated. “In fact, there may have been a few times she would make a funny face and the animal would show signs of smiling…. Betty always knew how to work with her audience. I plan on Betty’s birthday to do a number of personal and private things to celebrate her fabulous life.”

Betty White had been anticipating celebrating her centennial birthday but she passed away mere days before. People mourn her death saying a soul gone too soon!
