Georgia couple married for 71 years die exactly 12 hours apart

Herbert and Marilyn DeLaigle were famous in their town for always holding hands.

When Herbert DeLaigle’s health started to decline in 2017, he scheduled a meeting with the preacher at his church in Waynesboro, Georgia.

During the sit-down, Herbert revealed that he wasn’t afraid of dying, but he was scared to leave his beloved wife, Marilyn, behind.

In the end, Marilyn was only without Herbert for 12 hours. Herbert, 94, died from heart failure at 2:20 a.m. on July 12. Marilyn, 88, took her final breath at 2:20 p.m the same day.

How sweet is right. I honestly believe when one’s spouse passes, the other often goes soon afterward. Well for long married couples.

Thank You for this heart warming story. Why did Herbert call his wife Francis?

Thanks for your comments.

Music, I give up. Why did he? I didn't see that in the article.

That is the best way to go when you love your wife. If you can't stand her, she can't die fast enough. Ha.Ha.
