Couple Married for 73 Years Die of COVID-19 Hours Apart From Each Other

A Wisconsin couple married for more than 70 years has died of coronavirus just hours apart. In a beautiful act of kindness, hospital staff made sure they were side by side in their final hours. Mary and Wilford Kelper celebrated Wilford’s 94th birthday just months ago with their entire family. Now the family is mourning the loss of both parents to the coronavirus. Hospital staff said that they wheeled Wilford in next to his wife’s bed and that the couple was holding hands for their final hours.
