Tributes have been paid to a loving couple who passed away just six days apart. Anne and Bryan Frank Marshall died just a few days apart in January after over 65 "wonderful" years of marriage.
Loving parents to Dean and Sally, and cherished grandparents and great-grandparents, Bryan and Anne passed away at the ages of 87 and 86 respectively. They had known each other since they were school mates, but love blossomed as they reconnected as adults. They were delighted to celebrate their 65th anniversary last year, receiving a letter from Queen Elizabeth II.
Anne and Bryan grew up in Fairwater, Cardiff, and went to Herbert Thompson School, where they were taught in the same class. Speaking to the South Wales Echo as they celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2007, Anne remembered Bryan as "rather shy". After parting ways when they finished school, a chance encounter at a bus stop on Cowbridge Road East when they were 18 brought them together again.
