Elaine and Philip Marco were ‘together until the very end’, their family said in a statement.
Tributes have been paid to two “much loved” grandparents who died after driving into a flooded area in Liverpool just days before their 54th wedding anniversary.
Elaine Marco, 75, and Philip Marco, 77, were found inside a black Mercedes on Queens Drive in Mossley Hill on Saturday and were taken to hospital where they were pronounced dead.
In a statement, the married couple’s devastated family said the “only comfort” was that they were together to the very end.
“We are devastated and heartbroken by the sudden loss of Elaine and Philip Marco,” a family statement said.
“They were much loved parents to four children and 10 grandchildren.
“The family are arriving overseas from America and Australia to mourn their loss.
“They were due to celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary next week and our only comfort is knowing that they were together to the very end.”
