Loretta Lynn's parents, Melvin Theodore Ted Webb and Clara Marie (Ramey) Webb, were both buried in Buttons Chapel Cemetery near their hometown of Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. The cemetery overlooks the small town and is located on a hillside just off KY-7. Loretta visited her parents' gravesite often in her early years and has said that it was there she discovered her passion for country music when singing to them as a child. Ted passed away from cancer in 1959, while Clara died from complications due to diabetes five years later. Both are remembered fondly by family members who still visit the cemetery to pay their respects regularly; it provides comfort knowing they will always be close by despite living so far apart today.
