A brief reading of Sendak's various obituaries revealed that Else Holmelund Minarik, the Danish-born author of the Little Bear series, which Sendak illustrated, is still around at the age of 91.
Can't find any health on her, but she's been retired since 1989 and might be a good idea for the DeathList next year.
