On May 14 2018, New Zealand couple Peter and Ruth Bedford passed away just nine hours apart......Peter was 86 and Ruth was 83.
While speaking to a correspondent, the couple’s daughter, Caroline Bedford said, “It’s good they went together. They would have been completely lost without each other.”
Caroline said her father was admitted to the hospital on Saturday evening. “I think Mum decided he wasn’t coming back,” she said.
“She died at 10am on Monday morning and I got a message to Dad. He followed her about nine hours later,” she said.
Peter and Ruth Bedford, were married on December 30, 1957. Peter had emigrated to New Zealand, from Britain, where he fell in love with Ruth, from Wellington.
