At least two survivors are living, but they were too young to have memories of the disaster. Barbara Joyce West Dainton of Truro, England, was 10 months old and Elizabeth Gladys “Millvina” Dean of Southampton, England, was 2 months old.

I think the last person recently died? Or there is only one and she does not remember anything cos she was only about 3 months old when it sank?
I could be mistaken though...
