They were so happy when they woke up and saw each other and always rewarded each other with a huge smile.

In Ohio one elderly couplewhich they were both 100 years oldbreathed their last after 79 whole years of marriage, according to the DailyMail.

Sam, the couple’s son, told a local channel that his mother became seriously ill one day after Thanksgiving.

He states that his mother’s illness immediately brought his father to the same situation, eventually finding them in the same hospital, where for 5 days they also shared the same room.

At November 30 Sam’s father passed away. When asked what the cause of death was, he replied “broken heart».

Just 20 hours later June also passed away.

“They lived a long and happy life together. They were devoted to God and family”

The couple, who grew up in Kentucky, met in 1941 at a church service when they were both 20 years old. A year later they were married, when Humbert was on leave from the US Army. As soon as the war ended they moved to Ohio, with Hubbart getting a job at a company and the two together they have 3 children, who gave them 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

June was an excellent mother and made staying at home enjoyable. She designed a large garden, sewed dresses for her daughters herself.

The secret of their love, as they themselves said, was that they never quarreled intensely and seriously. “We are not saying that our life was without problems, but we never hurt each other… If there is tension, you leave for a few minutes to calm down and then come back, either forgetting what happened, or finding a solution” said Hubbart.

June was saying: You never want to hurt the one you love. You put him above your own feelings. If there are difficulties, work on them to solve them. Finally my opinion is never go to bed fighting.

Also characteristic is the statement of their daughter, Jo, who said that her parents they were so happy when they woke up and saw each other and always rewarded each other with a huge smile.
