Answer 2

Virginia Patterson Hensley, better known to the Country Music world as Patsy Cline, was born in Winchester, VA on September 8, 1932.

She was only 30 years old when she died in a plane crash in March 1963.

Patsy's life tragically ended on March 5, 1963 when the airplane, in which she was a passenger, crashed in the mountains near Camden, TN. The plane was owned and piloted by her manager, Randy Hughes. The other two passengers were "Cowboy" Lloyd Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins. They had been in Kansas City performing in a benefit show for the family of a local disc jockey. The weather was too bad to fly so they had to spend the night after the show. They waited all of the next day and Patsy was going to drive back with her good friend Dottie West, but the weather cleared up enough to fly, so she left with her entourage. They were last seen at the airfield in Dyersburg, TN, approximately 90 miles from Nashville, where they'd stopped to refuel. The airport manager suggested that they stay the night after advising of high winds and inclement weather along the flight path, but Hughes responded, "I've already come this far. We'll be there before you know it." Unfortunately, they never made it to Nashville.
