Loretta Lynn said Patsy Cline is ‘with her all the time’
When I came along it was a man’s world. I idolized Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline—the original female trailblazers! My heroes and inspiration. I’m always grateful and never forget what they did for me…for country music…for all us girls.

Unfortunately, Cline’s life ended at the age of 30 when she died in a plane crash on March 5, 1963. Lynn was understandably devastated.
“When I heard that morning that Patsy was gone, I said out loud, ‘What am I going to do?’ It was like a rug had been pulled out from under me,” Lynn explained per People. “She was my friend, my mentor, my strength.”
But she also said Cline didn’t really leave her and she believes she’s with her still. “She’s on my mind all the time,” she said per ABC News. “A lot of times, not even expecting it, but I’ll be sitting and thinking and I’ll see Patsy. I know a lot of people don’t believe that, but she’s with me all the time.”
