I know she suffered from depression and retired in 1990, but just played at the CMA awards and was scheduled to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame tomorrow and set to tour later this year. Daughters state that she died from " mental illness", the only way you die from mental illness is suicide. She was a gifted songstress and do have fond memories of the Judds music.

I’m pretty sure she suffered from Hepatitis C, too.
Judging by Ashley alone, I would tend to agree with that statement.
Alzheimers is a fatal illness. People who are schizophrenic sometimes do unwise things.
Dementia as well. I just lost my grandmother last week to dementia. I'm so glad she's free from the prison of her mind.
Been there. 🙏 for you and yours.
I felt the same when my mother died. In her better days she would have been mortified by her later self.
Alzheimer's is a neurological disorder. Schizophrenia is a mental illness. I'm sure you knew that, just for anyone else reading this and not knowing that.
It’s only fatal if their family members allow it to be fatal.
You can't always watch people 24/7.
RIP
The Judd's were awesome! Very talented ladies. So sad to hear this, but thank you so much for letting us know.
RIP Ms. Naomi.
Read that she had depression that was untreatable by medicine. So sad.
They're both monarchs, maybe the elder was getting free and they tripped the self destruct?
She seemed pretty sweet. RIP.
Ambition is a helluva drug.
