The couple had been married for 62 years and love each other very much, Clifton said.

"He was a hard-working man who loved his family. He lost a granddaughter to cancer a few years ago. Her name was Jennifer," said Clifton.

Hughes County Emergency Management posted on Saturday that one person was killed and two others were injured in the Spaulding tornado.

Clifton posted on Facebook that she and her family are hoping for prayers for his kids, grandkids, and Nyoka.
