[nota bene]

From Variety:

Singer and television star Naomi Judd, famous for nearly four decades as the matriarch of the country music duo the Judds, has died at 76, her daughters Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd said in a statement Saturday.

“Today we sisters experienced a tragedy,” the statement said, according to the Associated Press. “We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness. We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory.”

The announcement came the day before the Judds were set to be formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame at a medallion ceremony in Nashville.

RIP


but what does this mean:



Suicide?

I hate to think this, but Naomi Judd spoke openly about her struggle with depression.

 

[Rexedgar]

She was always the most attractive of the duo when they were paired, imo.

RIP

She wrote a book on depression, so...? Maybe that.

She was planning a tour with Wynonna in the fall so who knows?

May your troubles in mortality stay here and may you find the happiness you desire in the times to come.

SO sad. Her and Wynonna were huge during the Garth Brooks -Shania - Randy Travis era.

I've been secretly in love with Ashley for decades.

 

[Helix]

Rest in peace.

 

[JqYaqui]

Rest In Peace.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

I'm going to guess that no one concerned had the heart to just come out and say she killed herself.
Sad story ---- rest in peace.

So sad. I grew up on The Judds and others. My mom had this record:

 

[Gateman_Wen]

Well that's to bad. One of a very few country sings worth listening to.

 

[Common Sense 1]

Depression does not care who you are!
Rich or poor. Famous or not. So many people have that terrible struggle. Some everyday.

RIP Such sad news!

Shocking news!

So very disturbing that she hopelessly suffered with depression.
One would never know when looking at her gorgeous smile.

RIP Naomi Judd

Yes, a pretty smile--or great fame or wealth--can hide deep misery.
