June and Hubert met at church when they were 19 and decided to spend the rest of their lives together<\/p>\n

An Ohio couple, who both turned 100 in the same year, were married for 79 years and died just hours apart.<\/p>\n

June and Hubert met at a Kentucky church in 1941 when they were 19 and decided to spend the rest of their lives together.<\/p>\n

They had three children, seven grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Hubert proposed to June a year after they met while on leave from the Navy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I saw her, I said she\u2019ll be a good one,\u201d he previously told Local 12.<\/p>\n

After living a wonderful live together, the pair died just 20 hours apart in the same hospice.<\/p>\n

Their 76-year-old son Sam claims that his mum became seriously ill just a day after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

She was then transferred to the Hospice of Hamilton in Ohio for end of life care.<\/p>\n

Hubert \u2018broke down\u2019 after seeing his wife\u2019s health deteriorate and was soon admitted to the same hospice.<\/p>\n

On 30 November at around 9pm, Hubert died in his sleep. Sam believes it was due to a \u2018broken heart\u2019.<\/p>\n

20 hours later on 1 December at around 6pm, June passed away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went out together. I feel sad, but I shouldn\u2019t,\u201d Sam said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho can expect to live a life like that?<\/p>\n

\u201cThey lived a long, happy life together and they were devoted to God and the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

After returning from the US Navy, Hubert worked at the technology company Diebold Inc., while June became a stay-at-home mother of three.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a terrific stay-at-home mom. She made the girls\u2019 dresses. She planted a big garden. She canned and preserved, she was a good stay-at-home mom,\u201d Hubert
\npreviously said.

\nRevealing the secret to a long and happy marriage, he admitted: \u201cWe didn\u2019t go through life without problems, but we would never do anything to hurt each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s controversy, you might have to walk away for a couple minutes. Then you come back in and change the subject or you work it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never want to hurt the one you love. Put them first, above your own feelings. If you have difficulties, work them out. I would say don\u2019t go to bed mad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve never really gone out much. When the kids were younger we were happy sitting around the table sharing stories about our day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a wonderful life.\u201d
