Did Loretta Lynn predict her death? Singer posted about coming 'into the light' two days before she died
HURRICCANE MILLS, TENNESSEE: Loretta Lynn, the legendary country singer, best known for songs like 'Coal Miner's Daughter', died on Tuesday, October 4, at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. And it appears that she knew she was nearing the end. Lynn's family requested privacy during this trying time and stated, “Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home in her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills."
On Sunday, October 2, Lynn posted a verse from the Bible on Facebook knowing that it would be her last post on the platform. "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed," she wrote. "But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." The message concludes by acknowledging that she is sharing verses from John 3:20-21.

The post received over 6,000 likes and 1,500 shares. The singer regularly shared updates about her life on Facebook, sharing images from her ranch and old videos of her iconic performances. On September 25, Lynn commemorated the 60th anniversary of making her stage debut at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. She wrote, "Time flies when you're having fun! 60 years ago a dream came true when I became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. It's still the most magical place in the world and holds so many wonderful memories for me."
Recently, Lynn wrote about her appearance from 1988 on Dolly Parton's ABC variety show "It’s been fun watching this throwback making the rounds right now. Dolly Parton and I always have a great time together!" She was born in a little Kentucky town named Butcher Hollow and her illustrious career lasted more than six decades since she appeared on the music scene in the early 1960s.
Being a mother-of-four when she started her career, Lynn acquired the reputation of being "fiercely tough". Her writings about sex and love, unfaithful husbands, divorce, and birth control frequently infuriated radio broadcasters.
'Coal Miner's Daughter', 'You Ain't Woman Enough', 'The Pill', 'Rated X', 'Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Loving on Your Mind)', and 'You're Look at Country' were among Lynn's biggest records during the 1960s and 1970s. The song 'Coal Miner's Daughter' is regarded as one of music's most prominent compositions, and a movie based on the singer's life was produced in the 1980s.
