"On this special day, I wanted to share this photo of Betty," White's assistant, Kiersten, wrote on White's Facebook page on Monday, accompanied by a photo of White smiling. The photo, Kiersten said, was taken on December 20, 11 days before White's death.
"I believe it's one of the last photos of her," Kiersten continued. "She was radiant and beautiful and as happy as ever. Thanks to all of you who are doing kind things today and every day to make the world a better place."
