Merle + Stella

Merle + Stella.

Almost 79 years married.

We could tell you about their first dance, or we could tell you about how there was an objection to them getting married… But, instead, we're going to show you how their love survives. How it is difficult to age, but after 80 years and is stronger than ever.

UPDATE: May their love continue to inspire us, even though they are no longer with us. Merle passed away May 17th, 2019 and Stella passed away October 30th, 2021. Millions across the world were inspired by their devotion, and we are better people for having heard their story.
