Great concert, but unfortunately Loretta had a recent mishap and was suffering from broken ribs, so she was not quite up to par, but at age 81, she did a FANTASTIC job entertaining a full auditorium of fans! Loretta will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama later this year,

Loretta Lynn, born 4/14/32, married Oliver Lynn, commonly known as "Doolittle" or "Mooney" (for running moonshine), on 1/10/48 after meeting and courting for a month. Mooney was 21 and Loretta was 15. In an effort to break free of the coal mining industry, the couple moved to the logging community of Custer, Washington. The Lynns had three children by the time Loretta was 19 and gave birth to their fourth child, Cissie by age 20. The Lynns had 6 children altogether. Loretta became a grandmother at age 29 (1961), three years before her twins were born. Loretta has 21 grandchildren and their ages range from 52 to 11, born between 1961 to 2002. She is now a great-great grandmother. Loretta has survived two of her six children. Jack Benny who was Loretta's second child and eldest son, died at age 34 on July 22, 1984 while trying to ford the Duck River at the family's ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Loretta's eldest child, daughter Betty Sue, died at age 64 from emphysema on July 29, 2013 near Loretta's ranch in Hurricane Mills.

Loretta is also known as The Coal Miner's Daughter, The First Lady of Country Music, The Decca Doll, and The Queen of Country Music.
