The couple celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary June 1, and this week they died just three hours apart. “I just can’t believe something like this would ever happen,” Corina Martinez, one of the couple’s three daughters said. “You hear this on the movies, like The Notebook.” In the film, an elderly couple battling dementia die in their sleep on the same night. The Rodriguez’s followed that script nearly perfectly. The couple first met in San Antonio and got married after George Rodriguez served in the Marine Corps. Both later developed dementia. George Rodriguez suffered a stroke a few months ago and died in his sleep. Three hours later, Ora Lee Rodriguez died next to him. -
