Naomi Judd Remembered: Wynonna Judd Pays First Mother's Day Tribute Without Singer

Wynonna Judd is struggling to survive her first Mother's Day without her mother Naomi Judd by reminiscing about their greatest memories.

On Sunday, the 57-year-old singer, who played with her mother in the legendary country duo The Judds, posted a throwback photo of Naomi and Ashley Judd. Naomi passed away last weekend at age 76.

Naomi, with red hair wonderfully blown out as usual, can be seen cuddling Wynonna with one arm while holding Ashley with the other in the summery photograph.

"I miss her," Wynonna said in the photo's description.

Ashley, who also shared the photo on Instagram as part of her own homage to her mother, disclosed in the photo's caption that it was taken in the girls' home state of Kentucky, at Little Cat Creek.

Ashley touched on Naomi's openness on her ongoing mental health difficulties in a recent Mother's Day column for USA Today. The 54-year-old actress characterized the difficulties as "Naomi bore the scars of a lifetime of injustices that began when she was a child. Since she was a female."

"My mama was an extraordinary parent under duress," Ashley continued. "She showed my sister and me the power of having a voice and using it, and there has been no greater lesson.

Tragically, Naomi passed away just one day prior to her and Wynonna's induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame as The Judds. Before presenting Naomi and Wynonna with the Stagecoach honor, Country Music Hall of Fame CEO Kyle Young spoke briefly about their music.

"We can't ever know all their struggles, but we know all their songs," he said. "Their stories have been well documented, Naomi and Wynonna, a mother and daughter forced together and forged together. It's all complicated - and it all emerged in beauty and triumph."

Wynonna and Ashley accepted the trophy onstage with tears, to thunderous acclaim and support from the audience.

They said their hearts are broken and yet blessed to know their mother was well-loved and appreciated.

Multiple sources told People that country singer Naomi Judd has taken her own life, but neither her family nor her management have verified it.

The family refused to release information but implored the public to respect their privacy during the heartbreaking time.

Judd is a longtime advocate of mental health.

In her 2016 book, "River of Time: My Descent Into Depression and How I Emerged With Hope," she was frank about her mental health struggles, leaving no doubt that she had been battling demons and yet this could not be noticed when she was performing.
