Loretta Lynn
The next addition to our list of country music artists who sadly are now gone from us is Loretta Lynn. Another female artist was a real force in country music. Hits like I’m a Honky Tonk Girl, Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin (With Lovin’ on Your Mind), One’s on the Way and Fist City were some of her more notable songs.
The singer came to a painful ending after experiencing a few hardships before she would finally pass away. Starting in 2017, she would suffer from a stroke that would force her to cancel a tour that had lasted some 57 years. A year after that she broke her hip but she peacefully drifted away in her sleep years later at the age of 90.
