Despite the death of Naomi Judd Saturday, the Country Music Hall of Fame announced the Medallion Ceremony will continue as planned, per her family’s wishes.

Naomi Judd and her daughter Wynonna are to be inducted into the hall during the ceremony Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee. Wynonna is expected to attend.


Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Kyle Young issued a statement Saturday evening commemorating the legacy of Naomi Judd.

“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Naomi Judd, who enters the Country Music Hall of Fame tomorrow as a member of mother-daughter duo The Judds,” Young said. “Naomi overcame incredible adversity on her way to a significant place in music history. Her triumphant life story overshadows today's tragic news. Her family has asked that we continue with The Judds' official Hall of Fame induction on Sunday. We will do so, with heavy hearts and weighted minds. Naomi and daughter Wynonna's music will endure."
