LEXINGTON, Ky. — Loretta Lynn, a country music icon who was once known as the Queen of Country Music, has died at 90.
Many remember Lynn as the Coal Miner’s Daughter — a phrase that refers to a hit song and album by Lynn, as well as a movie based on her autobiography. She was from the coal mining community of Butcher Hollow.
“Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home at her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” said Lynn’s family on Facebook.
