A match made from heaven? Husband and wife born on the same day, and married for 75years died just one day

Lifetime of love: Helen and Les Brown whose marriage lasted for 75 years died just a day apart in southern CaliforniaThe Southern California couple were high school sweethearts who eloped in 1937. He was from a wealthy family and she was working class. Their families never thought they’d make it.

A husband and wife who were born on the same day and celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary last year have died just a day apart.
The couple's son Les Brown Jr said that 94-year-old Helen Brown died on July 16 and 94-year-old Les Brown died on July 17 in southern California.
Mrs Brown had stomach cancer while Mr Brown had battled Parkinson's disease.

The Browns were born on New Year's Eve in 1918. They met in high school and became teenage sweethearts before eloping in 1937 at the age 18. The couple eloped because their parents thought the marriage between a wealthy man and a working-class woman would never last.
