I had heard they were going to have a huge 100 birthday party for her – televised. She is remarkable and such a treasure. Will be missed. I think she’s be with the angels now. 🙂
Betty (as herself) always reminded me of my grandmother, who incidentally also passed on New Year’s Eve in 2010. I grew up watching her on gameshows, and as Sue Ann Nivens on the MTM Show; some of the funniest moments on television centered around her. I laughed a lot watching the Golden Girls, but I never thought that the Rose character really did her justice. I was thrilled for her when her career took off again when she was in her late 80s; her role as Elka was hilarious! Her love for animals was extraordinary…she was truly a national treasure. Betty was a classy lady who never took herself too seriously and made the whole world laugh with her.
Indeed. RIP Betty.

Loved, loved, loved ms. Betty!
Bless her heart. And dang, it rained fish somewhere in Texas today . . . talk about 2021 going out in a blaze of glory.
RIP America’s Sweetheart & one of the sweetest people….we lost a treasure today:-(
She was interviewed by Al Roker & said the “secret to a long life was kindness.” Well said sweet lady.
The world is a sadder place today.
So true Ross!
