In memory of our beloved Betty White who passed away on this day three years ago

Here’s a revised version of the content:

It’s been several days since Hollywood icon Betty White passed away peacefully in her sleep, just shy of celebrating her milestone 100th birthday. Known and beloved worldwide, she brought unforgettable charm to her roles as the cheerful Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, the naive yet endearing Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls, and the sharp-witted Elka Ostrovsky on Hot in Cleveland. However, for fans of The Bold & The Beautiful, Betty White will always be remembered as Ann Douglas, the fiery and complicated mother of Stephanie and Pam.

Betty White debuted on B&B in 2006, playing Ann in a powerful storyline where Stephanie finally confronted her mother over years of denial about the abuse she and her sister endured at the hands of their father. White reprised the role sporadically until Ann’s character was written out in 2009 when she succumbed to pancreatic cancer.

Whether she worked with someone for years or shared a brief encounter, Betty White’s influence and kindness left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Below, we share heartfelt tributes from B&B stars and performers from other soap favorites like General Hospital and The Young and the Restless.
