Notable Deaths 2018

[Female345]

We've been keeping track of notable deaths here since 2008, and it all started with Heath Ledger. Separate threads began to appear for new deaths, and I decided that they should all go into one thread, to be renewed each New Year's Day, so now we have nine years' worth of obits to look through. Here's Memory Lane.
