Famous Person Cemetery

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.

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.
