Panola County, Texas (CNN) The Rougely family never believed the coronavirus was a hoax, but in the early days of the pandemic it was hard to imagine the virus could reach them deep in the piney woods of East Texas. If the virus could find the Rougely family this far out in the country, they're convinced it can find anyone. "We've seen some very dark times," said Shenna Rougely, one of Vearline's and Raymond's three children. On that April day, three members of the Rougely family were diagnosed with Covid-19. Vearline and Raymond Rougely were married for 60 years before Raymond passed away in May from Covid-19.
