TLH PEOPLE

70 YEARS OF LOVE

After 70 years of matrimony, William and Doris Brown say the key to their marriage's longevity is "loving each other every day." 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻 | Tal Dem

  • The Browns tied the knot a mere year after meeting, exchanging vows on February 1, 1954. Shortly after, William was deployed overseas.

  • They loved to go fishing, camping, and driving together, anything where they could enjoy each other's company in the great outdoors.

  • Despite the challenges, William remains a steadfast companion to Doris, visiting her almost daily at Brookdale Senior Living in Tallahassee, where she resides due to her dementia diagnosis.

The couple’s story is not just a celebration of 7 decades of marriage but a testament to the enduring strength of affection that weaves through life's ever-changing memories and defies the passage of time.
