Couple, both aged 100, who were married for 79 years, die hours apart
An Ohio couple who were married for 79 years have died hours apart after spending their last moments together.
Hubert and June Malicote, both 100, died last week, their 76-year-old son, Sam Malicote, told The Dayton Daily News.
On Nov. 30, Hubert died before his wife "by only hours, marking the end of their 81-year-love story," according to his obituary.
About 20 hours later, June died on the afternoon of Dec. 1, Sam said.
"I feel sad, but I shouldn't. Who can expect to live a life like that?" he told the newspaper.
"They went out together," he added.
Sam told the paper that after celebrating Thanksgiving as a family, his mother became ill and entered hospice care.
While visiting her on Nov. 25, Hubert "fell apart" and was also admitted, Sam said.
