Betty White died at the age of 99 on Friday, and worked the entire time.

Her life was a life worth remembering and so many people from around the world are sending in their tributes to honor the “one of a kind” woman.
She would have celebrated her 100th birthday on January 17, a mere two and a half weeks before she passed away.
Following the news of her death, her “You Again” costars, Jamie Curtis and Kristen Bell, honored White on social media, with both sharing a popular cover of a 2010 issue of AARP magazine, featuring the trio.
“What women WANT is to live a life like Betty White,” Curtis wrote on Instagram. “Full of love and creativity and integrity and humor and dedication and a life of service to animals. To honor her today please make a donation to the @morrisanimalfoundation Morris Animal Foundation or any animal advocacy group! She would LOVE that. Rest easy you beautiful woman. We will carry on for you!”
