As Radar reported, Loretta suffered a stroke on May 4, 2017, and laid on the floor of her mansion in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., for 14 long hours until her grandson finally found her.
Months later, Loretta suffered a devastating setback.
On Jan. 8, she revealed that she’d broken her hip — an injury that often ends in death for people over 70.
