Loretta Lynn’s marriage to Oliver “Doo” Lynn lasted 48 years until his death in 1996. They met when she was 15, marrying at 16, and had six children. Their relationship endured challenges, including Doo’s infidelity and drinking, themes that fueled Lynn’s honky-tonk hits like “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin’.” Lynn credited Doo with kick-starting her music career, saying, “If it wasn’t for Doolittle, there would be no career.” Despite their ups and downs, she reflected, “He meant everything to me.”
