MISS Alabama Zoe Sozo Bethel spoke about wanting to live life to the fullest in tragic final posts before her death.
Zoe died Friday, eight days after she was involved in a horrific accident.
Her family confirmed on Monday that Zoe had died in Miami, Florida, saying that she “passed from this life into the next.”
Weeks before her untimely death, the beauty queen had shared messages of hope on her Instagram account.
She captioned one shot of herself wearing a red top with a quote she said was by Joan of Arc.
“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying,” Zoe wrote on January 18.
Last December, the current Miss Alabama posted a message saying she was pondering on her life as the year came to a close.
“I was evaluating the earlier years of my life focusing on all the mistakes I’ve made, and the consequences of disobedience,” she wrote.
“I felt discouraged/ disappointed with all I haven’t achieved by my age. Feeling regretful.”
Zoe continued: “I am reminded to look at the bigger picture and admire all that God has done for me. Focusing on his promises and remaining steady in the faith to continue this journey of life guided by him.
“This year has passed like lightning. I am hopeful for what is to come, although I struggle with planning properly (free-spirited) I intend to tackle that flaw and get a better grip of 2022!”
Zoe finished her post with two quotes from the bible.
Last year, she also used her Instagram to honor her late mother.
Zoe shared pictures of her mother, which she captioned: “In honor of my mother. #BreastCancerAwareness.”
In a touching social media tribute posted after her death, Zoe’s family said that the young woman “touched the hearts of many people.”
The tragic news of Zoe’s passing came just days after her family confirmed that she had been involved in an accident.
“Zoe had an accident Thursday night, February 10th, & sustained severe damage to her brain/brainstem & is in a coma,” the family wrote on her Instagram.
They did not specify what sort of accident Zoe was involved in.
At the time, they also shared a fundraising page for Zoe’s medical bills, which has received over $41,000 in donations.
The donations were also going toward resources for Zoe’s daughter, the family said.
Zoe was also a conservative commentator and worked in collaboration with Project Veritas and Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.
