Shocked that she was still alive. I would have thought she would have been about 110. RIP.

Wow - stunned she’d still be a live until now. Those commercials were a staple decades ago. She did a great job as Josephine. RIP

Sounds like she lived a good full life and left it with no complaints.
Any who puts smiles on our faces deserves to be remembered.
Especially those that seemed to live a life that deserves respect.
It's not what you accomplish that earns respect for a person, it's how that person acts and
Jane Withers looks like someone whose life made her a person who deserves our respect.

May she RIP and be remembered fondly by all
