A couple from the United States of America, June and Hubert Malicote, have died 20 hours apart, after 79 years of marriage.
According to TODAY.com on Wednesday, the Ohio couple were both 100 years old. While Hubert Malicote passed away on November 30 at 9:15 p.m, his wife, June died at 5:40 p.m. the following day.
Their daughter, Jo, revealed that June’s health had been failing for several years but Hubert only started to decline after his wife started hospice care.
“He went from 100 to zero in the span of three days. My dad saw what was happening to mom. He knew the prognosis and he wasn’t going to let her go alone. He lined up to be with her,” Jo said.
