USA: Till death do us part – Husband and wife die on same day

For more than 70 years, one couple remained married, in love, and full of life. The husband and wife’s love was so strong they took their final breaths on the exact same day.

Husband Herbert Delaigle died at 2:20 a.m. on Friday morning. Then 12 hours later, his wife Frances Delaigle died at 2:20 p.m. Friday afternoon.

Herbert and Frances Delaigle’s story begins in a Waynesboro Cafe, where they met when they were only 16 and 22.

“Frances worked at a little cafe we had in Waynesboro named White Way Cafe,” Herbert said in a 2018 interview. “I kept seeing her going in and out, in and out and I had my eyes set on her. And then I finally got up the nerve to ask her if she would go out with me sometime.”

The Delaigle family said in a Friday statement, “It’s amazing how they were together for 71 years and now they are together in Heaven. What an amazing love story that is.”
