Ohio Couple Married 69 Years Die On Same Day
The couple, who eloped as teenagers just before he embarked for World War II, were inseparable, says their son.
Till death us do part - a US couple married for 69 years have passed away within eight hours of one another.
Gene Warrington, 88, and his 86-year-old wife, Pat, died on 27 December in a hospice in Findlay, Ohio, reports the Advertiser-Tribune.
They met in junior high school and eloped as teenagers just before Mr Warrington embarked for World War II.
He had been able to visit his wife's room and hold her hand a few days before they died.
The ailing veteran had realised she was in a critical condition and said life wouldn't be fun anymore, according to his son.
Phil Warrington said that eight hours after his father breathed his last, his mother passed on.
"You could have almost predicted it," he said. "They did everything in their life together. They were never apart."
The couple raised three children, had seven grandchildren and a dozen great-grandchildren.
