Wynette had a history of battling cancer and reportedly died of a blood clot while taking a nap. Wynette was best known for her songs "Stand By Your Man" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and in 1992 returned to the pop charts with her collaboration with The KLF on "Justified & Ancient." Patty Loveless said of Wynette, "...when Tammy opened her mouth, it was the soul of country music." Wynette is survived by 6 children and 7 grandchildren. On April 9th, a memorial service was held for Tammy Wynette in Nashville, TN. Many of country music's biggest performers celebrated Wynette's legacy with words and song. One performer, Dolly Parton, said, "I feel I have lost a sister... a friend... and a wonderful singing partner" and Loretta Lynn described Wynette as her "...best girlfriend in country music."
