Spanish Eyes forever for Ray and wife Sheila

Now, 64 years of marriage later – their love undimmed – the couple have been reliving some of their happiest moments, thanks to staff at Butterfly Lodge care home, in Plymouth.

Sheila, who has dementia, has been a resident at the care home in St Budeaux since 2020, with husband Ray visiting her almost every day.

Deputy manager Sarah McCaffrey said: “With their 64th wedding anniversary coming up, Butterfly Lodge decided to help the couple mark the event by putting together a slideshow of their memories.

“Not only does Ray visit daily, he calls every morning like clockwork just to see how madame’ is. He has become part of our family here, as much as Sheila has.”
