Fallen Amazons
Great female bodybuilders from past glories who are unfortunately no longer with us. They have dedicated their lives pumping iron and showing us their amazing results. Now, we should all pay homage and remind and thank them for all the memorable routines they’ve given us, from every time they stepped on stage.
May God bless all their souls… R.I.P.

If you know/remember any other Female Bodybuilder that has passed away that I've missed, feel free to put her in this topic, so that she can be remembered (feel free to post a photo (or a video) of her, her year of birth, year of death, cause of death and contest history).
Thank you.
