In honor of what would have been Betty White's 100th birthday, the late beloved actress and comedian, who passed away in December 2021 at the age of 99, will be remembered with Betty White Day in Illinois.

Although Betty White moved away from the Illinois village when she was just a baby, she maintained vocal support for the region and continued to visit family members, even after establishing her residence in California. White, renowned for her roles in "The Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," will be commemorated on this special day in her home state.
