In 2012, stories of tragedy filled the news. We wept at news of shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a Colorado movie theater, a Sikh temple, and an Ohio high school. We mourned the lives lost and the devastation left behind by Superstorm Sandy and a series of tornadoes in the Midwest and South. We lost favorite celebrities of screen and song including Andy Griffith, Whitney Houston, and Dick Clark. And we said goodbye to heroes, from astronaut Neil Armstrong to Sandy Hook teacher Victoria Soto.
This site was created to honor and remember celebrities and other notable figures who died in 2012.
