Loretta Lynn, 'Coal Miner's Daughter' and queen of country music for seven decades, dies at 90

Loretta Lynn, the “Coal Miner’s Daughter” whose gutsy lyrics and twangy, down-home vocals made her a queen of country music for seven decades, has died. She was 90. Lynn’s family said in a statement to CNN that she died Tuesday at her home in Tennessee. “Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home in her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” the statement read.

I still miss her to this day,” Lynn told The Denver Post in 2009. “I wrote ‘You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man,’ and she said, ‘Loretta, that’s a damn hit.’ It shocked me, because you don’t expect somebody like Patsy Cline to tell you that you have a hit. Right after she passed, I put the record out, and it was a hit.” Her best-known songs drew from her life and marriage Lynn’s struggle and success became the stuff of legend, an oft-repeated story of youth, naivete and poverty.

Joe Biden campaigned on SHUTTING DOWN AMERICAN FOSIL FUELS! Period! Joe Biden SHUT DOWN AMERICAN OIL and chose OPEC&RUSSIAN OIL and now both are cutting down oil by 2 million barrels a day! This is Biden&Democrats fault NOT Covid NOT Putin but YES Biden! Period! A FACT!

Looks like Sissy Spacy

😞💔

I never understood why she was lionized for being the daughter of a minor. Teenage pregnancy is no laughing matter

So saddened by this news. She was and will continue to be a legend.

NikaShakarami 17, kidnapped in the fight for freedom, was in the regime's captivity for about a week, before they sent her dead body to her family, with her face beaten beyond recognition. It's unimaginable, the things they must have done to her during that time. MahsaAmini

CNN does not cover uprising in Iran. Solidarity with people of Iran at the streets.

Rest in Peace. God bless.

Prayers for Family and Friends. She will be missed.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I know that she is in heaven. Living in eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ. She believed in Jesus and I know where she is. Rest in peace Loretta Lynn. You gave us a wonderful music. Now you can sing with God's choir.

Aw man. I saw her live long ago and she was such a star in person as well as a great singer.

Why isn't CNN and other news networks announcing this and paying attetion to it?

Rip Loretta !

The children & youth in Afghanistan do not deserve to take their hopes & wishes to the grave with them. We have been burrying the bodies of our children for more than four decades now. Our children deserve to live a full normal life. StopHazaraGenocide

Has anybody seen this news story run on television? A friend of mine just emailed that he’s listened to three major country music raduo stations…no mention. And you wonder why the ratings are in the toilet.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful voice and spirit with us, now enjoy your eternal rest in Christ!!

She will be missed, Queen of Country 😢

So sad🙁

One of the promises in the Bible is Exodus 20:12: Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. She honored her folks and God fulfilled his promise with long life.

Although I'm not a huge fan of country music, I do remember the Grammys and AMAs as a kid growing up in the 1970s and 1980s as entertaining. Every every performance, from Diana Ross to Loretta Lynn, was excellent. The music was excellent! RIP

A country music realist has left us a spiritual legacy of honesty.

Go rest Miss Loretta. Be with Doolittle and your Daddy and Mama and loved ones. You'll be missed but never forgotten. The Queen of Country Music lives forever and ever!😔🥰

Iran is faceing modern revolution! There is no coverage in us news why We are fighting for freedom, to have secular democratic system like US 🇺🇸 with new constitution. we need your support. Woman - Life - Freedom MahsaAmini مهسا_امینی OpIran

Great Woman. May she Rest In Peace

Last of a godest

they don’t make country music the way they used to. it’s been dumbed-down to cups and trucks and long-necked bottles of corporate beer.

RIP to this legend ⭐️

Omg one the few ladies of country has left us.

Legend.

So sad deepest sympathy to all her family and friends, she was a wonderful singer a true legend in the music industry RIP

I condolences to the Lynn family this is one of the singer of country music that I loved to listen to

Hmmm 🤨

😢

God Bless her....she was a legend

Rip

🙏Sad!🙏

Now Loretta and her idol Patsy Cline can meet up and do some duets again.

The piece you just showed identified Conway Twitty as her husband. He was not her husband. Love to Loretta!

🙏🙏

I'm watching a breaking news segment re Loretta Lynn. The CNN reporter keeps talking about Loretta's marriage and showing pictures of Loretta and Conway Twitty. Please check before reporting. Conway was her singing partner not husband.

She and her husband were married nearly 50 years before he died in 1996.

My hart is broken

StopHazaraGenocide

As a songwriter , she crafted a persona of a definently tough woman , a contrast to the stereotypical image of most female country singers .

RIP

Lynn already had four children before launching her career in the early 1960s , and her songs reflected her pride in her rural Kentucky background .

May God rest her soul

Praying 🙏🏾 for the family that the Lord be with them as they going through and to keep them and to surround them with love and support they will need in Jesus name 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

🙏🏻😭

She died Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills , Tennessee .

RIP May God rest her soul in peace

💔😭

Rip Loretta, my mom and grandmothers favorite singer they seen and met her at house of blues myrtle beach.

The Country Music Hall of Famer wrote fearlessly about sex and love , cheating husbands , divorce and birth control .

R. I. P.

RIP Loretta Lynn! Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift w us. God Bless you! 🙏💔🙏

CristFrank tragedy!

I’m not a big country music fan BUT growing up in 70s and 80s I recall when music award shows were fun- Grammy’s and AMAs. ALL the performances were great from Loretta Lynn to Diana Ross. Music was at its best!!! RIP

RIP !

I will forward it. But I can't say that I am in favor of favoriting it. Sad day for music.

Her Frank songs about Appalachian womanhood made her a country icon.

I don't know who you are but I do know what you are.

Rest in peace young lady, I have enjoyed your music for years and I will for years to come.

Oh no. This is so 💔💔 Believe it or not but my dad gave me the name Lynn because he had liked her 😢💔 May she RIP 🙏🙏

Wow 😮

😞🌹

Loved her, grew up listening to her era of music.

Symbol of rural resilience is no more .

My prayers go out to her family’s in every country music fan out there

💔💔🙏🙏

R.I.P Loretta!🙏

RIP, Loretta, and thank you for the decades of music. ❤️

RIP Loretta Lynn, the most distinctive and beautiful voice in all of music.

Rest in peace.

And fistbciry.

😥😥

Rest In Peace Loretta Lynn!

💔💔💔
