The death toll from the catastrophic flash floods in Tennessee over the weekend include 7-month-old twins and Loretta Lynn’s longtime ranch foreman, Wayne Spears.
Country music icon Loretta Lynn mourned the death of her longtime ranch foreman on Facebook on Sunday — one of at least 22 people killed by heavy rains and flash flooding in Tennessee over the weekend.
“There are no words at the ranch today … only tears,” wrote Lynn, 89, on Facebook. “Our ranch family is our family. We lost my amazing ranch foreman, Wayne in this devastating flood. He took such good care of things here on the ranch for us. He’s one of us and the whole Lynn family Is heartbroken. Please pray for his precious family and friends.
Among the 22 Humphreys County residents killed in the catastrophic flooding were 7-month-old twin babies, who were reportedly swept right out of their father’s arms as the family was trying to escape the rising water. Their grandmother Angie Willeby identified the twins as Ryan and Riliegh to a Fox-TV affiliate in Nashville.Read more: More than 20 killed in Tennessee flash floods; dozens missing
