Until death did they part.

A Michigan couple who spent nearly a half-century together have tragically died of COVID-19 on the same day — and at the same time.

Jackson natives Leslie and Patricia McWaters succumbed to the disease at a hospital on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 4:23 p.m., ending their 47-year marriage. They were 75 and 78, respectively, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Hospital staff “recorded their deaths at the exact same time,” their family writes in the funeral home obituary.

The age of 75 (plus) is a comorbidity in itself.

No it’s not. I’ll be 87 on Thursday and I have no comorbidity. I haven’t ever had the Flu that I know of, and I’ve never had a Flu shot. I’ve been out and around all year. I believe that my immune system would likely stop it and if not I’m ready to meet the Lord.

Maybe they both had DNR orders.

If you haven’t been through it, don’t criticize.

Just ask Janice Dean what it’s like.

You know, you younger loudmouths, you’ll be there someday soon.

what goes around, comes around.

Whoa. I was in no way criticizing anyone or any action. I was offering an explanation to why a husband and wife died at exactly the same time.

I am no spring chicken, by the way, and far from a loudmouth. You, however, have trouble understanding the written word or perhaps are slightly unhinged.

My sister and her family got sick. They recovered.

My dad’s cousin died from COVID yesterday. But you know, I am not going to go around living in FEAR, that’s how they (mostly democrats) want us to live.

Being 75 (plus) doesn't necessarily mean that you'll catch the virus but it strongly suggests that if you do you'll be sicker than you would have been if you had caught it at 45.

A person's immune system naturally weakens as they age.

Yes. Definitely unhinged. A recent widow, trying to get my bearings again.

If only they had hidden in their basement for the last year, they could have been Democratic nominees for President!

Seems familiar...

[where being suspicious of the news media’s agenda in reporting deaths doesn’t make commenters heartless.]

That’s correct. We’re not happy about the family’s loss / their deaths.

We hate seeing their deaths exploited for a NWO agenda.

“Yes. Definitely unhinged. A recent widow, trying to get my bearings again.”

Sorry to hear this.

We have 3 newly widowed friends, who have lost their husbands in less than a year. No funerals yet for 2.

They do dinner or lunch out once a month and in one of their homes at least twice a month. They do games on the internet together via Zoom. They text each other a few times each day. They take day trips to the beach or where ever.

They and their former husbands are/were long time members of our church.

Prayers for you and them.
