(ForEveryMom) 85-year-old Bill Olwig and 83-year-old Patricia Olwig died less than an hour apart earlier this month from coronavirus complications. The couple had been married for almost 61 years, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Both Bill and Patricia suffered from pre-existing ailments that made them high-risk patients. After noticing a persisting cough at around the same time last month, they both tested positive for COVID-19 and were put on ventilators at Progress West Hospital in O’Fallon, Missouri shortly after.
