In my family, no one dies with a gall bladder. At some point, almost everyone ends up getting it removed. It started with my mom's mom. Both my mom and one of her sisters had it removed and so did my brother. Even one of my cousins younger than me had hers removed. On my dad's side, both of his parents had theirs removed. My dad had 4 sisters and 2 brothers, 3 of the girls had it out and one of the guys did. Stragely enough, I still have mine and don't (knock on wood) have any problems. I actually had a doctor suggest removing it as a preventative measure.
