Beautiful couples with each other in 75 years of life and death

According to Xinhua News Agency, a couple in Long Beach, California, USA, lived on the same day of the same year. After 75 years of marriage, they died in two days and performed a touching love song with life and death. The couple’s memorial service will be held on the afternoon of the 27th.

Life and death

In the eyes of friends and family, Helen Brown and Les Brown are "born in pairs." Both of them were born on December 31, 1918. They fell in love in high school and met with each other after marriage. This year celebrated their 75th anniversary of marriage, which is the last time they celebrated their wedding anniversary. Helen died on July 16 and Les followed closely and died on the 17th. The two were 94 years old.

The eldest son of the Browns, Les, told the Long Beach Telecom Daily that although their parents were born on the same day, their personality was very different, their mothers were quite strict, and their fathers were relatively idle. "They are 75 years old, this is true romance." love".

The younger brother of the Browns, Daniel, agreed. He said: "Mother often said that she is not willing to watch her father die, and her father is not willing to live without a mother."

Bravely chasing love

Helen and Rice met and fell in love in high school, eager to form a family. Helen was born into a working family, while the Les family was much richer. Both parents opposed the two to marry and thought their love would not last.

It turns out that this is not the case. Helen and Rice ran away on September 19, 1937, and later joined the marriage hall.

In 1963, the Browns moved to Long Beach to live. Helen became a budget-conscious housewife, and Rice runs a photography studio, mainly for the Navy.

In his later years, the couple were ill, Helen suffered from stomach cancer, and Les got Parkinson's disease. Neighbor Zach Henderson said that although he often brought some daily necessities or food to the Browns from his grocery store, he did not know that Helen was a cancer patient. Just a few days before Helen’s death, Henderson also came to visit and felt that her consciousness was very clear. “She said, let’s do something together when Les’s health is better.”

Happy life

In the eyes of neighbors, the Browns are happy and enviable.

Henderson clearly remembered about a year ago: Helen’s hand touched Rice’s cheek and his face was flat. Helen said to Henderson: “Isn’t he the most handsome man you have ever seen?”

"This is their mode of getting along, they are full of love and enthusiasm."

Henderson said that the Browns "like to look for fun and beauty in life", even after 90 years, they are still actively participating in community activities, supporting the formation of community bands to help the band perform at community gatherings.
