A North Carolina family is in mourning after losing two important members last weekend to the coronavirus.
Sherwood Lee Pope, 82, and
Doris Knox Pope, 78, had been married for 61 years and lived in Coats. Though they were both sick with COVID-19, they were together through the end, passing away while still holding hands.
Shelton Pope, one of the couple s three sons, said his parents, who both had previous medical conditions, started getting sick after Thanksgiving. Mom didn t really want to go to the hospital, said Shelton. [She] figured she could do it on her own.
They eventually did go to UNC Rex Hospital, where they stayed for a week before passing away. Sherwood and Doris were originally split up in separate rooms. As they became more ill, however, the hospital allowed them to share a room.
