Chad Gallagher, a representative for the Lynn family, told USA TODAY that Lynn Massey died on August 20.

Loretta Lynn, known as a country music legend, passed away in October 2022 at the age of 90. She had requested to be buried next to her husband, Oliver “Doolittle” Vanetta. Loretta had 26 grandchildren, including Emmy Russell, who competed on American Idol this year.

 

Loretta’s eldest child and Lynn’s mother, Betty Sue, passed away in 2013 from emphysema.

Rest in peace, Lynn Massey. Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time.
