Late YouTube sensation Auntie Fee’s tragic last words are being revisited as her years-old content is revived on TikTok.
Felicia O’Dell, known as Auntie Fee to her followers, is being introduced to another generation, almost a decade after her first YouTube video went viral.
A TikTok account under the handle @allaboutfee posted their first video of the late content creator on January 4, 2023. “Paying homage to one of the most influential individuals known as AUNTIE FEE,” the account’s description reads. Just one day after posting their first video, the account has gained over 61,000 subscribers on the video-sharing platform. It is yet unknown if the account is affiliated with Auntie Fee’s family, or by a fan.
Some fans of the late YouTuber didn’t even know Auntie Fee had passed until discovering the TikTok account.
What happened to Auntie Fee?
On Tuesday, March 14, 2017, Auntie Fee suffered a major heart attack and was placed on life support, the Daily Mail reports. The following day, Fee was unresponsive, although she eventually regained consciousness. Fee remained in critical condition for the following three days.
While Auntie Fee regained consciousness to share some last words with the O’Dell family, she tragically died in hospital. Fee passed away early on Friday, March 17, 2017 at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Her brother, June O’Dell, said Fee refused to change her eating habits. Fee hoped to take after her father, who ate everything he desired and lived to the age of 99. “It turns out she took after our mother, who struggled with high blood pressure and diabetes,” June told the Los Angeles Times while his sister was in the hospital.
Auntie Fee’s personality shines through last words to Tavis
Despite lying in a hospital bed after suffering a major heart attack, Auntie Fee’s hilarious personality came to the fore in some of the last words she spoke to son, Tavis Hunter, Hollywood Life reports.
Tavis recorded a video of his mother in her final moments, where she cracks jokes in the bittersweet video. “OK, you’re listening to me right?” Fee asks Tavis. “I don’t want you to go in my purse and take nothing. Tell my sons and them that I love them in case I don’t make it out of this.”

When Felicia O’Dell’s sons first posted her to the internet, her son, Marlon, told her it was so they could be recorded for after she’s gone.
“Why do I gotta die?” Fee retorts. “Why can’t I just go blind or senile?”
Unfortunately, Fee would lose her life a few years later. But her presence lives on in the hearts of fans and foodies alike and her last words on immortality ring true that Fee will never truly die.
