The couple's granddaughter Ashley Bartiyik shared the news on Facebook a month after her initial post drew attention to the story. She also shared footage of the couple's happy reunion.

The Gottschalks, who've been married for 62 years, were initially forced to separate when they were placed in different transitional facilities while awaiting placement in a nursing home. In her Aug. 23 post pleading for help in reuniting the couple, Bartiyik wrote that her grandparents had been separated for eight months. Wolfram's recent lymphoma diagnosis coupled with advancing dementia made the situation more urgent.
