Pauline and Hilary met on a beach as young women in 1955, exchanged rings in 1970 and were (in their words, “finally”) married in 2017.
Following their marriage, they started to notice signs. Pauline began forgetting things that they had planned, such as appointments.
In 2019, Pauline was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia, and the couple have shared their story with the Alzheimer’s Society.
“We’ve no doubt that the Alzheimer’s Society are behind us”
