What about Anja Pohjola (b. 1931)? I don't know if she's actually notable in Finland, mind, I just know of her from the intro to the show Hyvät herrat:

 

 

She's definitely notable, but still doing well for her age.

To be honest, I made that list today mostly out of names I've had sitting around, Matti & Teppo I'd forgot about. Kuusela looked unrecognizable and frail in the most recent image I've seen of her (from years ago) and is a pretty big name. There's been some implication of her being ill including how when media attempted to interview her this year the assistant who answered her phone said "she was in very good health until 80". I don't think she's been seen or heard of since 2022 atleast.

 

Pohjola was most recently interviewed last month. I recall she's got diabetes but she and Eero Aarnio (Ball Chair designer) are some of the healthiest-looking Finnish nonagenarians I've seen.

A 2025 version of my "Finnish DeathList".

 

Both Danny and Hector seem pretty active still, and maybe that's why they come easily to the deathlisters mind. My legendary musician pick is M.A. Numminen.

MAGA Representative Virginia Foxx took a tumble down the Senate stairs. No mortal damage to Foxx though since the stairs were regrettably not high enough.

 

 

Thankfully there was no damage to the stairs.
