They spent their last moments together holding hands
Curtis and Betty Tarpley celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2017. They died together earlier this month in a Texas ICU from Covid-19. Betty and Curtis Tarpley were together for most of their lives — they went to the same high school in Illinois, met and fell in love in California as adults, got married, and raised two kids.
Tarpley, 52, said his dad was in the ICU and seemed to be doing well. Nurses had even been able to wheel Curtis to Betty's unit, so they could spend some time together. Tarpley said he called his dad to update him on his mom's condition and told him how much he loved him."I really feel like he like he was fighting because he was supposed to and once he knew she wasn't gonna make it, then he was okay with, you know, taking it to the house," Tarpley said."I think he fought because he thought the team needed him, but he was also tired and he was in pain.
Throne said it took a team effort, but they were able to move Betty to the ICU, so she and her husband could be side-by-side.
