 Her husband died shortly after the ceremony.The motivations of the two spouses are not known, but it is possible to suppose the will of Olympe Démarez to remain faithful to this man by bearing his name and the will of Charles Valentin to secure the future of the woman who gave him all during their 25 years of companionship allowing her officially as his wife, to inherit from her husband.During WWII Démarez goes back to her hometown and takes care of the refugee children.
