A couple married for nearly 50 years had just enjoyed a cocktail on their deck, where they talked about their inevitable deaths.
As they walked back inside their Vermont home, a piece of ice fell off the roof and fatally struck 73-year-old Linda Freedman Scharrenberg in the back of the head, according to the couple’s daughter, Jodine Meyers.
Scharrenberg was knocked unconscious and fell into the snow face-first, the Caledonian Record reported Tuesday.
In the porch conversation, Meyers said her father told Scharrenberg he didn’t know how he could live without her.
