Couple Married 65 Years Die Only Hours Apart [VIDEO]

In over 50% of today's marriages, "Til death do us part" is merely a suggestion.  It's certainly not the norm. But in the case of Eleanor and Frank Turner of North Carolina, they took their vows to their graves; literally. 

The two would have been married for 65 years on Christmas Eve, but they didn't quite make it, as both of them passed away last Friday. Eleanor went first, but within 9 hours and even before the family could inform Frank of her death, he died.  So, even in death, the two were never far apart.

Take a look at this incredible story from WBTV.
