Naomi Judd’s death was top of mind at the Country Music Hall of Fame ceremony — with her two daughters accepting the honor on her behalf … and shedding tears while paying homage to her.
Ashley and Wynonna Judd were on hand Sunday at the CMA Theater in Nashville, where the Judds were inducted into the Hall. Of course, Naomi — who made up half the duo — had suddenly passed the day prior … so her kids stepped up.
announced Naomi’s death Saturday, citing mental illness, but nothing more. Naomi was out publicly alongside Wynonna in recent weeks … and was fully expected to make the ceremony, with no outward ailments anyone was aware of.
Naomi had been open about her mental health struggles over the years, saying she’d battled depression for a long time. The exact circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear.
RIP
