She married at 15 and remained married for 48 years. That just doesn’t happen anymore.

She was born Loretta Webb on April 14, 1932, in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. “I’m always making Butcher Hollow sound like it’s the most backward part of the United States — and I think maybe it is,” she wrote in her autobiography.

I have been to Butcher Holler and have photos of the shack Loretta was born in. It may well be the most backward part of the US.

Rest in Peace, Loretta, you are a phenomenal person.

I do agree that it is between Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline for the greatest female country singer of all time. Although I didn’t get to go to a Loretta Lynn concert, I did see her granddaughter Tayla Lynn perform at a free concert in Longview, Washington in 2019. Tayla performed several of Loretta’s songs including “Fist City”. Loretta Lynn left a great heritage of outstanding country songs.
