A late Kenyan couple, Malonza Ngambi and Elizabeth Mukeli, who had been married for 76 years, were buried in the same grave after they died few days of each other
The couple who
reportedly met in 1940 and got married shortly after, were said to have
had 6 children, 25 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. At the
time of their death, Ngambi, was said to be 101 years while Mukeli was
94 years old.
A family member who spoke at the joint funeral, reportedly said:
“The
two were inseparable; in fact if one fell sick, the other would follow
suit. Malonza died after a short illness, his wife died three days
later. It is as if he went to prepare a way for her high up in the
heavens.”
Before they died, Ngambi and
Mukeli had told their family to bury them side by side, as if they knew
they would go at the same time. The couple was buried side by side,
their caskets bearing the same color and make as they had willed.
