William and Victoria Kemp were both 81 when they sadly passed away at Southend Hospital.
The pair, who were thought to have first met while working at MK Electrics in Progress Road, spent their lives together at their home on Western Approaches, Eastwood.
Victoria passed away on January 4 and William on January 8.
Their niece, Cheryl May, paid an emotional tribute to her aunt and uncle who “gave so much love and time” to everyone they met.
Cheryl, who lives in Portland, Victoria in Australia, would regularly speak with her aunt and uncle on the phone.
In 2007 she flew to England to meet Mr and Mrs Kemp.
