C ountry legend Loretta Lynn , who died
peacefully in her sleep on October 4 at her home in Hurricane Mills , has been laid to rest alongside her late husband , Oliver Vanetta “ Doolittle ” Lynn , in the grounds of her Tennessee ranch . Around 100 guests of family and friends attended the ceremony . A public memorial is planned but no details are available yet .
Lynn ’ s daughter , Peggy Marchetti shared a tribute to her mother on Facebook after her death saying , “ I kissed my mom ’ s beautiful face one last time ... whispering to her ... I love you yesterday , today , tomorrow and always … I have taken care of her daily for the last 5 years over seeing her health care . It has been the most important and honorable task I have ever undertaken . I promised my family I would take care of her ... I would keep her home with us and I would do my best to keep her with us for as long as possible . I tried my very best ... my damn best to keep that promise .
“ Mom , over these last few years after her stroke , so missed her fans , her music , her friends , singing and preforming . She missed her tour bus , her dresses and most of all her connection to her audience . She spoke about going back on tour again and singing all the time . She would sing all the time at home ... she would scare the caregivers to death when in the middle of the night break out in song at the top of her lungs . She was and will always be Loretta Lynn ... I guess she needed to remind them she had chops .” Elsewhere , Crystal Gayle and Peggy Sue Wright delivered a touching tribute to their late sister when they performed Coal Miner ’ s Daughter during the 2022 CMT Artists of the Year celebration . Introduced by Tanya Tucker , who said , “ It ’ s so special to me that we can take a moment to celebrate her tonight . I have been so blessed with the gift of her music and also with the gift of her friendship . She guided me through this business even before we met .”
