    Who Should Be On The 2018 Deathlist?

    Katherine Johnson - The woman who helped make the trajectories of many early NASA missions, including Apollo 11. Turns 100 in August. Barbara Bush - First Lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Turning 93 next year. Jerry Maren - Last known member of the Munchkins (and the Lollipop Guild) from The Wizard of Oz. A death hoax about him happened in February of last year, and by just looking at him from 2010, you can easily see why. Stephen Hillenburg - Creator of SpongeBob who was diagnosed with ALS back in March. John McCain - Diagnosed with brain cancer this year. His mother (Roberta), who is still alive at 105, would also make a good pick. Eileen Derbyshire - Actress best known as Emily Bishop from Coronation Street who turns 88 next October. Retired from acting last year.
