Ruth Klein, the last surviving member of The Pancea Society, died in August.
The Pancea Society were a wonderfully eccentric religious group, who believed that Christ's second coming would happen in Bedford. One of the properties they purchased in the town remains empty, ready in waiting for Jesus to take up the tenancy upon his return.

Looking through Wikipedia for old American politicians, I took an interest in surviving members of presidential cabinets. The last member of the Kennedy administration died in 2010, but there are still a few members of the Johnson and Nixon administrations kicking around.
