'Betty was a wonderful person, a supporter of the Columbus Zoo, and a true champion for all animals,' Columbus Zoo and Aquarium said after the legendary actress passed away on Friday.
White's closest zoo relationship was with the Los Angeles Zoo. White worked at the zoo as a volunteer from the time it first opened in 1966. She became a member of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association's Board of Trustees in 1974, the same year she recruited a slew of celebrity friends to take part in a TV special highlighting the behind-the-scenes work that went into caring for animals at the zoo.
"She cared deeply for all living creatures – including us," continued Verret."Her loss leaves a great hole in our hearts. The L.A. Zoo cannot thank Betty enough for her decades of support, and we share in this grief with all of you. There truly will never be another person like her."
