Lori and George Schappell, the world's oldest conjoined twins, passed away at the age of 62.

George was a country singer, while Lori excelled as a ten-pin bowler. They made history as the first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders in 2007. Despite their unique challenges, they lived together in a two-bedroom apartment and expressed a strong desire to never be separated.
