Country legend Loretta Lynn is mourning the death of her oldest daughter, Betty Sue Lynn. She was 64.
Betty Sue died Monday from emphysema complications in Waverly, Tennessee, near her mother’s Hurricane Mills ranch.
She is preceded in death by one brother, Jack Benny Lynn, who drowned at age 34 in 1984. Their father, Oliver Vanetta Lynn, died in 1996.
Loretta’s living children are Clara, 62, Ernest, 54, and twins Peggy and Patsy, 49.
The ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ celeb issued this statement: “The Lynn Family appreciates all your prays, love, and support of our family’s loss. Betty Sue is survived by two daughters, Lynn Markworth and Audrey Dryer, and five grandchildren.
Loretta is frequently joined on stage by her singing twin daughters, one of whom was named after icon Patsy Cline. We’ve included a photo below from a 2012 event in Dallas.
