We are sorry to report that Louise Scruggs, beloved wife of Earl Scruggs as well his long time business manager, passed away today at approximately 2:00 p.m. in Nashville, TN. She had been hospitalized for some time, and despite some recent hope that her health was improving, took a turn for the worse over the past few days.

I am sure that all of our readers will join us in expressing our sincere condolences in this time of sadness and loss for the Scruggs family. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.

We will have more information and some remembrances of Mrs. Scruggs over the course of the next few days.
