`A devoted English couple died just 10 minutes apart after a 65-year romance that started in their teen years.
In their final days, Harry and Mavis Stevenson had been living in St. Werburgh's House Care Home in Derby because she had fallen ill and they could not stand being apart.
The Stevensons' family was not surprised when Mavis passed away on Nov. 3 at 89 but was shocked when her 88-year-old husband — who was in good health — shed a few tears and died by her side just minutes later, according to local media.`“Their love lasted and they were devoted to each other. I can imagine them being together now, after their death, side by side,” the couple’s nephew Stephen Cresswell, 63, told the Derby Telegraph (http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/ROMANTIC-STORY-YEAR-Derby-couple-love-70-years/story-24535512-detail/story.html).
Harry and Mavis met at the Asterdale social club before Harry joined the Royal Marines in 1943.
He stormed the beach at Normandy on D-Day to help liberate continental Europe from Hitler’s clutches and was shot in the hand while battling the Japanese in the Pacific theater, the local paper said (http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/ROMANTIC-STORY-YEAR-Derby-couple-love-70-years/story-24535512-detail/story.html).`
