Together till the end! 100-yr-old couple Hubert and June Malicote married for 79 years die 20 hours apart
HAMILTON, OHIO: An 100-year-old couple's love story came to an end last week after being together for nearly eight decades. Hubert and June Malicote died just hours apart from one another, after 79 years of marriage, according to their son, Sam, 76.
Sam said his mother fell gravely ill the day after Thanksgiving, and was put on end-of-life care at Hospice of Hamilton in Ohio, reported Dayton Daily. After seeing his wife's health deteriorate, Hubert could not bare it and soon "broke down" and was admitted to the same care center. "He fell apart, really," said their son, Sam. The couple shared the same room at the hospice center, where they both reportedly lay unconscious for five days. On November 30, around 9 pm Hubert died in his sleep. Sam said his father's cause of death was a "broken heart." 20 hours later, around 6 pm, December 1 June also died.
