Couple married 80 years and who turned 100 together pass within hours of each other
When we get married, we envision a lifetime of togetherness and happiness, but only a few lucky ones stay true to their vows and spend their life together.
Experiencing true love and meeting your soulmate could be one of the most beautiful things to happen to us.
Meet June and Hubert.
The pair were both born in July 1922, in Rural Kentucky.
As they became adults, both moved to Hamilton, Ohio, in search of jobs.
Then one day, an invitation from their church led Hubert to notice a beautiful young lady, June.
June also saw Hubert, and she smiled. That was the start of a beautiful friendship that blossomed into love.
It was 1943 when they married.
Soon after, they sent Hubert off to serve our country in WWII.
Years passed.
After two long years, they were reunited and settled in Hamilton. Together, they shared three children, seven grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.
āWeāve never really gone out much. When the kids were younger, we were happy sitting around the table sharing stories about our day,ā Hubert shared his story with TODAY Parents. āWeāve had a wonderful life.ā
According to Hubert, they never fought.
Many people doubted this, but it was a statement that was backed up by their daughter, Jo.
According to Hubert, they didn’t go through life without problems, but they did nothing that would hurt each other.
āIf thereās controversy, you might have to walk away for a couple of minutes,ā Hubert explained their secret. āThen you come back in and change the subject or you work it out.ā
As they were interviewed, you can see how much they would hold hands. Their stares were full of contentment and love.
They were still plenty in love.
However, it was obvious that June didnāt talk too much.
That’s because she suffered several strokes before, so talking was a challenge for her, but in her own way, she showed everyone her love.
She held his hand.
She looked at him lovingly.
In recent years, the couple developed a routine. They would sit down for dinner and later would watch old western movies.
Before going to bed, they would share a kiss and say their goodnights.
They turned 100 together.
They even celebrated over 8 decades of sharing a life together.
Itās like watching a love story movie that will make you tear up with admiration and joy.
Itās amazing what true love, respect, fidelity, and communication can do to a relationship.
Hubert and June couldnāt even imagine spending one day apart from each other.
āItās kind of like if we arenāt together, the team is broken,ā Hubert revealed in his interview.
According to their daughter, Jo, it seemed like her dad knew that his wife, June, was dying.
Last December 2022, even though he was still healthy, according to Jo, he preceded his wife and died peacefully.
Just 20 hours later, June followed.
She closed her eyes for the last time, joining her beloved Hubert in paradise.
They both passed just hours apart.
According to their daughter, their father didnāt want their mother to be alone, and even in their last breath, he was a true gentleman.
āI feel sad, but I shouldnāt. Who can expect to live a life like that… They went out together,ā their son told PEOPLE.
Like a lovely book depicting two souls in love, no matter how beautiful, would end.
Their love story is so pure that these two spent their eight decades loving each other.
