Country music legend Loretta Lynn died peacefully in her sleep yesterday at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. She was 90-years-old.
Lynn had a stroke in 2017, but her family said she died from natural causes.
Lynn is a 3-time Grammy winner who had 21 No.1 singles and 11 No.11 albums.
On Sunday, Oct. 2, Lynn would publish what would prove to be her last Facebook message.
Lynn wrote, "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
The message ends by recognizing that she's sharing from the Book of John.
Many country artists have paid tribute to Loretta.
Dolly Parton said, "So sorry to hear about my sister, friend Loretta. We’ve been like sisters all the years we’ve been in Nashville and she was a wonderful human being, wonderful talent, had millions of fans and I’m one of them. I miss her dearly as we all will. May she rest in peace.”
Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, Carole King, Kacey Musgraves and Kris Kristofferson also paid tribute.
