I read about Millvina Dean's death, too, and I, also, felt sad for the reasons you'd already expressed.
I've been fascinated with Titanic since I was 7, and saw A NIGHT TO REMEMBER on the Early Show on tv. Loved the 1997 movie, also for similar reasons which you've written in here. It is such a sad and strangely compelling story.
I have many books on Titanic, and even an imitation poster on wood announcing the ship's sailing date on my wall.
Now, the ship itself is disintegrating under two and a half miles of ocean.
I hope all those who died that night in 1912 have had a splendid afterlife.

God knows they all deserve it.
Goodbye, Millvina Dean.. and take care.
