90-Year-Old Twins Died Hours Apart on Christmas Day

This brought tears to our eyes...

Rebecca McKnight

A set of 90-year-old twins passed away just over two hours apart on Christmas Day.

Martha Dixon and Mary Dickson were born in September 26th 1924 in Tennessee and they both died on December 25th 2014.

They married brothers William Dixon and Thomas E Dickson (one apparently had to change his surname to re-enlist in the military).

According to reports, Mary kept asking her daughter Diana Hargis if she had found her a man. Diana said that Santa would bring her one.

Speaking to FOX2 after what family members have described as a Christmas “miracle”, Diana explained: “He did, he took her home to my dad.”
