After living much of her life in the public eye, Loretta Lynn‘s memorial service was much more private. The 90-year-old, who passed away on October 4, was quietly laid to rest on her Hurricane Mills ranch, with only about 100 friends and family gathered for the private event.

Per WKRN, the Humphreys County sheriff led the procession, followed by a black hearse, with vehicles carrying the memorial service attendees behind the hearse.

Lynn’s daughter, Peggy Marchetti, spoke about the memorial on social media.

“Today was bitter sweet.as I kissed my mom’s beautiful face one last time..whispering to her,” she wrote. “I love you yesterday, today, tomorrow and always. My aunt came up to me at the service and said, ‘I see your mommy in you.’ I hugged her and said that is the best thing I could hear…because I feel her. Thank you to all that made today so special. As they laid mom to rest beside my daddy we held one another, arm in arm and sang, ‘I was born a coal miner’s daughter in a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler.'”

 

In an earlier post, Marchetti also gave a glimpse into Lynn’s final few days before she passed away.

“I am thankful for she left this world gently through in the night,” Marchetti said, as part of a lengthy tribute posted on Facebook. “Daddy just came a took her hand and they are together in each other’s arms I know. It was so surreal because yesterday mom was talking and very animated telling us, ‘I am ready to go to heaven. Doo is coming to take me home. They told me I’m really going home.’ She really said that yesterday. She knew. She just knew and was happy..she said she was going to be with daddy. I thought, ‘Yea, one day,,,and told her ‘Hey, not today Margaret.’ I am spending the night with you tomorrow night so hold up:). She said, ‘You better get here so..cause I am going home.”

Tributes from fans and artists alike poured in after Lynn’s passing, including by Reba McEntire, who praised Lynn for reminding her of her own mother.

“Mama and Loretta Lynn were four years apart,” McEntire said. “Mama being the oldest. They always reminded me a lot of each other. Strong women, who loved their children and were fiercely loyal. Now they’re both in heaven getting to visit and talk about how they were raised, how different country music is now from what it was when they were young. Sure makes me feel good that Mama went first so she could welcome Loretta into the hollers of heaven!

“I always did and I always will love Loretta,” she added. “She was always so nice to me. I sure appreciate her paving the rough and rocky road for all us girl singers.”

A public memorial for Lynn will be held at a later date.
