Country recording artist Judy Lynn Kelly has died in Indiana at the age of 74.
Relative Kay Kelly Cook says Kelly died Wednesday at her home in Jeffersonville after suffering congestive heart failure.
Kelly was born in Boise, Idaho, and got her big break in her teens when she was hired to fill in for Jean Shepard during a touring show of performers from the Grand Ole Opry. In 1952, she was part of a show with Gene Autry.
She performed under the name Judy Lynn.
In 1980, she retired from show business and became a minister.
