As I read on the website, "we all have to volunteer to write obituaries." [I think I was a little less polite. Ed.]
As I received a solo (thanks everyone!), I humbly submit a few dozen keystrokes on the subject of recently deceased voice artist Lucille Bliss:
Born in New York City on March 31, 1916, Bliss moved to San Francisco in the 1950s and played Auntie Lou, the hostess of The Happy Birthday To You Show, a live local children's TV show on KRON-TV. Bliss also voiced stepsister Anastasia in Walt Disney's 1950 feature Cinderella. Lucille did voice work over six decades (including the first made-for-television cartoon, Crusader Rabbit), and most notably Smurfette in the 1980s cartoon The Smurfs, and more recently Ms. Bitters on the Nickelodeon series Invader Zim.

Keister Button gets the usual 7 points for someone in their 90s whom no one had on their radar. No one except Keister Button, that is.
