World War II veteran, wife die on same day after 78 years of marriage

BOSTON — A husband and wife who were married for 78 years died within hours of each other.

David and Muriel Cohen, of Longmeadow, Massachusetts, shared a room in a nursing home and both were tested for COVID-19. Muriel tested positive for the novel coronavirus, but David tested negative.

In spite of the differing test results, the family chose to keep them together. In their nearly eight decades of marriage, the couple had never been separated, with the exception of David Cohen's service time during World War II.
