Loretta Lynn has reportedly started planning her own funeral because she feels after all her recent struggles the end is soon approaching and she is ready to go according to gossip rag, National Enquirer.
Sources reportedly told the tabloid that Loretta Lynn is winding down her health issues are starting to get the best of her. As previously reported, the Queen of Country Music was hospitalized on October 20 with serious medical issues following an unspecified health setback.
The 86-year-old country entertainer’s health has continued to be a concern for the singer since suffering a stroke in May of 2017 and most recently a broken hip. Following her recent hospitalization sources claim that Loretta left the hospital claiming she was “ready to meet her maker.”
The “source” also claims that since then Loretta has decided to plan her funeral and is ready to be reunited with her late husband Mooney. That was after the country legend began the year fighting to recover after suffering a stroke and shattering her hip in a fall. “Loretta had already been confined to bed for a few days, but then she began to feel an intense dizziness and numbness on her right side,” a friend revealed. “She told her family, ‘It’s happening again,’ and was rushed to a Nashville hospital…”
At 86, Loretta Lynn has already lived more than 8 decades and knows even without all the added health issues her time on earth is winding down. She claims that when her time comes she prefers to be at home on her Hurricane Hills Ranch with her loved ones by her side.
Celebrities pre-planning their own funerals appears to be becoming quite popular in 2018. As previously reported, Barbara Walters, 89, has also planned her own funeral and chooses for her final send off to be done her way, with dignity and class.
It is sad to think about the end coming anytime soon for either of these wonderful women, however, both Loretta Lynn and Barbara Walters are strong-willed women so it makes perfect sense that they opt for the final say, in their final days.
