From People:

The beloved star of 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' 'The Golden Girls' and 'Hot in Cleveland' died days shy of her 100th birthday.

"Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas told PEOPLE in a statement on Friday. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again."

According to White, being "born a cockeyed optimist" was the key to her upbeat nature. "I got it from my mom, and that never changed," she said. "I always find the positive."

She will be missed. I loved her.

RIP. We should all be so lucky as to keep our health and faculties for as long as she did.

I’ll remember her more for much of the time she was on Password, hosted then by her (and future) husband Allen Ludden.

Seeing 'Betty White turns 100' on People magazine covers in stores next to magazines talking of her death at 99...

People magazine should have recalled those, or not print them until she was actually 100.
