LORETTA LYNN SURVIVED POVERTY, A TROUBLED 48-YEAR MARRIAGE, THE LOSS OF TWO CHILDREN AND A STROKE. AFTER REACHING 90, SHE WAS GIVEN ONLY 173 DAYS OF HER 91ST YEAR. Loretta Lynn was born in a small cabin in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, on April 14, 1932. She grew up as a coal miner’s daughter, married before she turned 16 and became a mother while she was still a teenager. By 21, she had four children. The life that followed was never easy. Her marriage to Doolittle Lynn lasted 48 years, through poverty, infidelity, arguments and the career he helped her begin by buying her first guitar. She later buried two of her children: Jack Benny, who drowned in 1984, and Betty Sue, who died in 2013. Then came serious health problems. Loretta suffered a stroke in 2017 and broke her hip the following year. But she kept recording, writing and reminding people that the coal miner’s daughter was still here. On April 14, 2022, Loretta turned 90. She died peacefully in her sleep at her Hurricane Mills ranch on October 4, surrounded by the home and family she had spent a lifetime building. Only 173 days of her 91st year had passed. She entered the world in a Kentucky cabin with almost nothing.
