A Tennessee couple that was married for 58 years tragically died just four days apart from one another of complications from coronavirus.

Margaret and Dr. Charles “Ed” Powe Jr. were able to spend their final days together at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where officials managed to assign them rooms next to each other. After being together for nearly sixty years, they were able to both go to Heaven at virtually the same time.

“One of the doctors called us that day,” recounted their daughter-in-law, Lisa Powe, of the Memphis suburb of Germantown, “and they said, ‘Well, when you walk in the room, you wouldn’t even know she is critically ill.’ … I mean, she’s about to die, and she had a smile on her face.”

Fox News reported that Margaret and Ed became infected with COVID-19 through contact with an asymptomatic individual in their assisted-living facility. Margaret was the first to get sick, and she was admitted to Baptist Memorial Hospital on April 6. Her husband then followed her there five days later.

The nurse treating Margaret stepped up to push “aggressively” to have Ed assigned to the empty room next to his wife. Though the couple was not able to see or speak to each other once they were in the hospital, their family and staffers agree that they were each happy to know that the other was nearby.

“It was special to us,” said their son Charles. “The nurses were so wonderful and caring and brave to be there with them, and to help us and to fight for us and understand (the pain of) losing two … within several days of each other.”

Margaret and Ed met at a wedding of mutual friends in which she was the bridesmaid and he was a groomsman, and they got married in 1962. They then moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where Ed opened his own practice called Providence Obstetrics and Gynecology. The couple moved to an assisted living facility in Germantown three years ago to be closer to their son and his wife Lisa.

Margaret was 80 years-old when she died on April 14, and Ed was 88 when he passed away on April 18. Since neither was awake in their final days, Ed never had to hear the news that his beloved wife had died.
