Naomi Judd’s Husband Opens Email To Find A Message From A Stranger About His Wife’s Death
Larry Strickland, Naomi Judd’s husband, talked about the days preceding up to his wife’s death and how “fragile” she was. However, not long after the country music star’s suicide, her widower got an email from an unknown sender that provided some solace and comfort.
Naomi Judd died the day before she was to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The 76-year-old woman, who had been outspoken about her anxiety and treatment-resistant depression, killed herself with a pistol.
Following Naomi’s death, her youngest daughter, Ashley Judd, posted on social media, “We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness.” “We’re completely shattered.”
Because of how badly it distorts reality, this sort of mental disease is very tough. It makes no difference how much someone is adored. They struggle to experience the influence of their genuine worth and value in this world while suffering from depression.
Ashley added, “Our mother couldn’t wait to be accepted into the Hall of Fame by her colleagues.” “The barrier between their affection for her and the falsehood the sickness told her couldn’t pierce into her heart.”
Naomi came from Vienna, Austria, to Tennessee for the forthcoming Hall of Fame induction ceremony just days before her death. Larry Strickland, Naomi Judd’s husband since 1989, was concerned about the trip.
“I was terrified of her flying all the way from Vienna to Nashville by herself because I knew how delicate she was,” he explained.
Larry would subsequently learn how nicely the flight had gone. After Naomi Judd died, her husband got an email from an unknown sender. This stranger turned out to be Naomi’s seatmate on her return flight home.
Naomi Judd was not recognized by the man as a celebrity. But, in classic Naomi manner, the two conversed for 90 minutes as if they were old friends, a period the stranger described as “entertaining, engaging, and educational.”
“It’s a little consolation, I’m sure,” the man wrote in an email to Naomi Judd’s husband, “but my life seems a lot fuller after meeting your wife, however briefly.” “Obviously, I didn’t know Naomi at all, but I can tell you that she talked favorably and warmly of you and your life together.” Rest certain, she adored you and had no reservations about telling me as a stranger on a plane.”
During CMT’s Naomi Judd: A River of Time memorial special, Naomi Judd’s husband told this anecdote. And, according to Larry Strickland, his wife had plenty of opportunities for amicable encounters.

What a beautiful gift at such a difficult time for the family. Thank goodness the stranger heeded the Holy Spirit’s urging to send a message to Naomi Judd’s widower. It would have been easy to dismiss his narrative as irrelevant. Or wouldn’t be able to reach Larry. However, in their time of sadness, his comments were just what the family needed.
