About Betty White Day

Betty White, who died in December 2021 at the age of 99, will be honored with Betty White Day in Illinois in commemoration of what would have been the beloved actress and comedian’s 100th birthday.

The Golden Girls and Mary Tyler Moore Show star moved from the Illinois village when she was still a baby, though she remained vocally supportive of the region and was known to visit family members even after settling in California.
