On the East Coast, I don't think there's any major landfalling hurricanes that weren't retired, but Helene (1958) and Emily (1993) are both considered category 3 impacts to North Carolina and were not retired.
Hurricane Gracie in 1959 was a Category 4 when it made landfall in South Carolina and was not retired.

The only time the lists above change is when a storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name on a different storm would be inappropriate or insensitive.
