West had been a long-time member of the Grand Ole Opry. On her way to the famed show on August 30, 1991, West had her final journey. The singer never made it to the show as the car she’s riding in that time lost control and crashed into the central divider of the road. West suffered major injuries, her spleen ruptured and liver was lacerated. On her third operation period a few days later, West died at the age of 58. Several artists in the country music industry paid tribute to West by attending her memorial services.
