Country music singer Loretta Lynn, known for songs like “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” passed away on Tuesday, October 4, 2022, according to her family. She was 90 years old.

“Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4, in her sleep at home in her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” Lynn’s family said in a statement.

She was born Loretta Webb in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky on April 14, 1932, to a family that sang and played music together. At just 15 years old, she was married to Oliver “Dolittle” Lynn, had four children by age 18, and became a grandmother by 29. During that period, Lynn got a guitar and started writing music and singing in bars and contests.

In 1960, she released her first hit, “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl,” which she and Dolittle promoted themselves. Lynn signed with Decca and released more than 50 records over a period of 30 years as the sequined country music queen known for her sassy, no nonsense lyrics. She recorded multiple chart topping hits like “Don’t Come Home a’ Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind),” “Fist City,” “Woman of the World (Leave My World Alone),” and the autobiographical “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

In the ‘70s she embarked on a successful partnership with Conway Twitty, recording popular songs like “After the Fire is Gone,” “Lead Me On,” and “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.” She was the first woman to win Entertainer of the Year from the Country Music Association in ’72. Four years later, Lynn released her autobiography, Coal Miner’s Daughter, which became a film in 1980, for which Sissy Spacek won an Oscar. She did some acting at the time, appearing in Fantasy Island, The Dukes of Hazzard, and The Muppet Show.

Lynn was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in ’88 and was given the Pioneer Award from the Academy of Country Music Awards in ’95. After a break from music, she released Still Country in 2000, on the 40th anniversary of her career as a performer. Lynn won two Grammys in 2004 for Van Lear Rose, which was a collaboration with Jack White, and in ’16, she released Full Circle, produced by John Carter Cash (son of Johnny Cash and June Carter). In 2021, Lynn released her 50th studio album, Sill Woman Enough, to celebrate women in country music.
