Who is Clara Marie Lynn?

Born in 1952, Clara Marie Lynn is the daughter of I’m a Honky Tonk Girl singer, Loretta Lynn and her partner, Oliver Doolittle Lynn. Both of her parents are no more. Starting with her father, the esteemed talent manager died on August 22, 1996. According to the sources, he died due to diabetes-related issues and heart failure. Sadly enough, his demise took place just 5 days before his 70th birthday. 

On the other hand, Cissy’s mother passed away on October 4, 2022, at the age of 90. She died peacefully in her sleep after struggling with a number of health problems. Lynn is currently a manager at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, an Event Venue, Campgrounds, and Tourism Destination. She began her managerial work in the organization in March 2012 and has since been working for it. 

She is married to John Beams. The couple has been happily married for many years now. They had an intimate wedding ceremony, due to which it is hard to pinpoint the exact date of their marriage. Her husband, Beams is a singer-songwriter himself. He is a member of a local band, The Black River Band.

Before she met her current partner, she was married to Garry Lyell. Unfortunately, her marriage with Lyell lasted for only a few years. Following the split, her ex-husband married another woman. 

In 2023, Lynn is estimated to have a net worth of $1.5 million. Likewise, her late mother left a whopping net worth of $65 million at the hands of her 4 children after her death.

Cissie is also a country singer, and in 2011, she released an album with her husband, John Beams, which featured covers of some of her mom's songs. Loretta, who died in October 2022 at the age of 90, produced the album.

"I was definitely honored to do that," Cissie told Nashville Music Guide while recording the album in 2011. She further said, "It's hard to explain my feelings. My children and my grandchildren will listen to this album and say that their Mama and their Grandma did this all."
