The "Kentucky coal miner’s daughter whose frank songs about life and love as a woman in Appalachia pulled her out of poverty and made her a pillar of country music" has passed away at the age of 90. Her health had been declining in recent years, suffering a stroke in 2017 and a broken hip in 2018. She was never one to shy away from mentioning her Christian faith and all that it meant to her.
Survivors include younger sister (and fellow country star) Crystal Gayle.
