Mark Meyers, executive director of the rescue, says she donated tens of thousands of dollars over the years.

On Christmas Day, a jennet donkey foal was born at the rescue. They were not having any luck coming up with a name until December 31st when word came out announcing White's death at the age of 99.

The new donkey will now be known as Betty White-Ludden (the actresses legal name) or just Betty, for short.
