Loretta Lynn was an American country music singer and songwriter. In a career spanning six decades, Lynn released multiple gold albums. She had numerous hits such as: “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl”, “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin'”, “One’s on the Way”, “Fist City”, and “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. In 1980, the film Coal Miner’s Daughter was made based on her life.
Who is Loretta Lynn’s husband Oliver Lynn?
Lynn was married to Oliver Vanetta “Doolittle” Lynn from 1926 to 1996 which is almost 50 years until her husband died at age 69. In her 2002 autobiography, Still Woman Enough, and an interview with CBS News the same year, she recounted how her husband cheated on her regularly and once left her while she was giving birth.
Lynn and her husband fought frequently, but she said that “he never hit me one time that I didn’t hit him back twice.” Loretta said that her marriage was “one of the hardest love stories”. In one of her autobiographies, she recalled: I married Doo when I wasn’t but a child, and he was my life from that day on. But as important as my youth and upbringing were, there’s something else that made me stick to Doo. He thought I was something special, more special than anyone else in the world, and never let me forget it. That belief would be hard to shove out the door. Doo was my security, my safety net. And just remember, I’m explainin’, not excusin’… Doo was a good man and a hard worker. But he was an alcoholic, and it affected our marriage all the way through.
