History: Mildred Delores Jeter & Richard Perry Lovings, Interracial Married Couple Banned, 1969, Virginia, United States

Deaths
Richard Loving died at age 41 in 1975, when a drunken driver struck their car. Mildred Loving lost her right eye in the same accident.
Mildred Loving died of pneumonia on May 2, 2008, in Milford, Virginia, at age 68. Her daughter, Peggy Fortune, said, “I want (people) to remember her as being strong and brave, yet humble—and believ in love.” The final sentence in Mildred Loving's obituary in the New York Times notes of her statement to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia: “A modest homemaker, Loving never thought she had done anything extraordinary. 'It wasn't my doing,' Loving told the Associated Press in a 2007 interview. 'It was God's work.'"
