Everyone has grieved a death, unfortunately it’s part of life. When it’s a celebrity it’s different. You don’t have a personal connection, but you loved this person. Here are some deaths that you either knew or are about to learn.
First off of course I have to start with Betty White who lived from 1922-2021, to be the age of 99, only 17 days away from her 100th birthday. She is most known for her role of Rose Nylund in Golden Girls. She is also known for The Proposal, That 70’s Show and Toy Story 4. She was important to many people because of her roles. Whether it’s your grandparents talking about The Betty White show or your parents talking about the Golden Girls, you should ask your parents about this legend who will be remembered forever. She will be survived by her 7 decade TV career, her many adoring fans and her three step kids from her late husband Allen Ludden.
Bob Saget

Next is Bob Saget. Lived from 1956-2022 and died at the age of 65. He is known best for his role of Danny Tanner on Full House and his minor role of Danny Tanner of Fuller house, many adults had fun seeing DJ all grown up with kids of her own and Danny coming back to give advice. How I Met Your Mother, Madagascar, and Dumb and Dumber: When Harry Met Llyod. He is survived by his first wife and three children.
Cicely Tyson is up for the bat. From 1924-2021 and died at 96. She had a 7 decade career filled with movies like Constantine Jefferson in The Help filmed in Jackson, Mississippi, which helped audiences to understand what it was like for working house women in the 1960s. Fun fact, my old neighbor helped with the set design of the movie. And Fried Green Tomatoes based on the book of two female star crossed lovers. The movie shows it’s audience many messages, how to stand up to people, the importance of love, and the importance of family. She is survived by her brother and sister.

He was the consort of the British monarch from Elizabeth's accession on 6 February 1952 until his death in 2021, making him the longest-serving royal consort in history.
Willie Garson is last but not least. Lived from 1964-2021 and died at the unfortunate age of 57. He was Standford Blatch in Sex and the City, Boy Meets World and the later spin off Girl Meets wich parents can watch with their kids and laugh at jokes their kids wont understand.
