Their daughter, Jo, shared, “I place Mom in her wheelchair next to Dad, and they hold hands and bid each other goodnight. In the morning, they greet each other with radiant smiles.”
Hubert emphasized their genuine enjoyment of each other’s company, saying, “We’ve never felt the need to go out much. When the kids were younger, we found joy in sitting around the table, sharing stories about our day. We’ve lived a truly wonderful life.”
In 2022, June will celebrate her 100th birthday on July 13, and Hubert will reach the same milestone on July 23. They plan to mark this significant occasion with an intimate gathering of loved ones and a church service in their backyard.
