We're profiling the people we've lost to the coronavirus. Elizabeth and Robert Mar were supposed to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year. Instead, they died within a day of each other.
“He never proposed to her,” said Angela Okumoto, whose parents Elizabeth and Robert Mar both died with COVID-19 within days of each other. “They’d been hanging out for like three weeks,” Okumoto said, when instead of popping the question, he took her to his house and simply announced to his mother that they were getting married.
But despite Robert’s accomplishments—NUWES/NUWC is the center of all research and development for the U.S. Navy’s underwater warfare capabilities—it was Elizabeth who had the public profile. “We were getting things sent to us from complete strangers,” Angela said. “The first, huge bouquet of flowers came from someone my mom waited on once.”
Her father would eat there frequently, according to Angela, acting like a secret shopper, she said, “letting us know what he thought we could improve or do differently.”
