They spent their final days on different wards at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital but were reunited when Betty was wheeled to Norman’s bedside before he died.
Close friend of the couple Derek Blatchford said:
“They were a devoted couple. They go on so well. They did not have children - they just needed each other.They will be really missed but I suppose if they had to go this would have been the way they wanted it. They were devoted to each other for so many years.”
Their nephew Ray Balkwill said:
“After Norman died, Betty died just eight days later. I think she just pined away without him."Norman and Betty (nee Craker) had met at a festive party 72 years ago and their friendship blossomed throughout their school days in Exeter, Devon.
