I was pretty young when it happened, but but in the summer of 2005 Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement, then Chief Justice Rehnquist died a few months later. The Chief Justice position was filled first, and O’Connor agreed to remain in her position until Alito was confirmed in January of 2006.
I’m not sure if two confirmation hearings have happened in a closer timespan other than that though. Something new to put on my list of things to research!

True story - Rehnquist and O'Connor briefly dated at Stanford Law school where they graduated 1st and 3rd, respectively, in the same class.
