She told Channel 9 she was surprised and also shared some advice for younger generations.

“You should honor God, have faith, and do the right thing,” White said. “Well, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I’m trying to do the best I can to live with the Lord, and he is taking care of me.”

White was treated like royalty during her special day, complete with a birthday tiara and sash. Guests at the party also played a trivia game to figure out who knew her the best.
