From the Judds' social media accounts-

“Remembering the “Queen of Everything” on what would have been her 77th birthday. 👑” the post reads. ”With her unshakeable creative drive & unmistakable harmonies, Naomi was a force in not only country music but American pop culture as a whole. Join us in sending the Judd family your LOVE as we continue to celebrate the life and legacy of Naomi Judd! 🤍”

Naomi Judd passed away at the age of 76 on Saturday, April 30, 2022. Her death shocked the country music community. Her passing was revealed on social media in a statement from her daughters. “Today, we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,” the statement read. “We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory.”

She is missed.
