An elderly couple that had spent nearly 65 years together ended up passing away together on the same day while living in a nursing home in Saint Louis.Â
Jack and Harriet Morrison met in 1955 when Jack was driving a charter bus and Harriett was a passenger on it with her father and his drum and bugle corps. The couple married less than a year after meeting and rarely separated from one another for the nearly 65 years they spent together.
On January 11, they pushed their beds together so they could hold hands in the nursing home as Jack passed away first and soon after, Harriet followed him. Their health continued to decline until both of them stopped eating and drinking soon before they died.Â
