'Inseparable' Couple Dies on the Same Day After 65 Years Together: 'A Love Story for the Books'

A 65-year love story came to a bittersweet end this month when a Missouri couple died in a nursing home on the same day, just 20 hours apart.

Six months after that fateful day, Jack and Harriet tied the knot on May 5, 1956, according to the outlet. Jack made a living running his father’s V-K Bus Lines company while Harriet spent her days raising their two sons and Wagener. For over 65 years, “they lived together almost inseparable,” Jack’s obituary reads, adding that the couple “enjoyed traveling and being with friends and family.”A little over a year ago, however, Jack and Harriet’s health both began to decline, theIt started with a fall for Harriet while she was walking their dog, which led to a broken pelvis and hip. Later on, she developed dementia and moved into the nursing home.

By Jan. 3, things were looking grim for Harriet and a nurse asked Wagener if she could move the furniture out of Jack’s room so Harriet could be with him in her final moments.

This sounds like my parents story. After 77(!) years together my father passed away and now, sadly, my mother remains alone 1 1/2 years later. Hard to watch.

Amazing but best for both of them
