Betty White's Heartbreaking Last Photo On Instagram

Just three days before her death on New Year's Eve, Betty White shared her excitement via Instagram about turning 100 on January 17, a milestone that sadly won't come to pass. White wrote, "My 100th birthday... I cannot believe it is coming up, and People Magazine is celebrating with me!" about the December 28 People issue in which the ever-smiling White shared some life lessons on happiness. 

Self-described as "a cockeyed optimist," White insisted, "I got it from my mom, and that never changed. I always find the positive." In line with her jovial life philosophy, White spilled her dietary secret to a long life. "I try to avoid anything green," she joked. "I think it's working." Most heartbreakingly in hindsight, White told People, "I'm so lucky to be in such good health and feel so good at this age. It's amazing." 

In an eerily foretelling comment on White's Instagram post, a fan had even lightheartedly joked, "Not until January 17th!! I swear People magazine if something happens to her before then, it's on you." However, most of her followers focused on joining in White's celebration before learning of her death on December 31. "Betty, we are exactly 50 years apart! Sharing a birthday with you is my biggest flex! From one Jan 17th'er to another HAPPY BIRTHDAY," one wrote.
