Couple married for 53 years die minutes apart from COVID-19 while holding hands
Jul 2, 2020
- The couple died minutes after each other
- They spent quite some time ‘’enjoying’’ their last moments together
- Nurses had joined Curtis and Betty's units so they could be close to each other
An old man and his wife died like most people would love to, beside their better halves, with their hands tightly clutching each other’s (God forbid though).
The man identified as Curtis Tarpley and wife Betty died from coronavirus within an hour from each other.
According to CNN, the Illinois couple who had been married for 53 years died on Saturday, June 18, in a Texas hospital where they spent their last times together, holding hands.
Betty, 80, was admitted at hospital on Thursday, June 9, after testing positive for the virus, while the hubby Curtis, 79, tested positive on Saturday, June 11, and was admitted immediately.
The couple’s only son told CNN nurses had joined Curtis and Betty's units so they could spend some time together.
According to the son, his mother called him and his sister when her condition deteriorated and told them that she was ‘’ready to go,’’
While the mum struggled with her condition so was the dad but his was so bad and fast that the children could not see him again after only two visits or so.
The couple’s son added that their parents seemed like they were communicating with their souls since they were incapacitated.
