Couple Married For 63 Years Die Together Peacefully In Their Home

The media has gone crazy over the love story of the 81 and 83 year old couple who died together in their home. This is expected going by the high level of divorce and domestic violence that floods the news daily.

The couple married for 63 years died at their Nampa home within minutes of each other last week.  Edna Huntley, 81, passed away in her sleep on the evening of March 20th and less than an hour later, her husband, Bob Huntley, 83, died too.

Information further disclosed that earlier this year, Edna was diagnosed with cancer and Bob had been suffering from dementia for some time, according to the Idaho Press-Tribune. Edna told a friend, “When one of us dies, (we’re) going to wrap the hand of the other and take them along.  And that happened”.

Their son, Kenneth Huntley, told the newspaper. “We’re very grateful it happened this way,” the son said, noting that his father wouldn’t have wanted to continue on without Edna.

Bob and Edna are survived by their five children, three daughters, two sons, 20 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
