Naomi Judd's granddaughter will not be in attendance at the country music legend's upcoming funeral. Grace Kelley, the daughter of Wynonna Judd, is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence in Tennessee for cooking and supplying meth. While inmates can request permission to attend family members' funerals, Kelley has not asked to be released for her grandmother's service. "We have not received a request," Dorinda Carter, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Correction, told the Daily Mail. "No one has asked."
Kelley was arrested in 2020, but awarded parole one year later. She landed back in prison after violating her probation. Her next parole hearing is scheduled for the end of 2022. Wynonna, who shares Grace, as well as son Elijah, with ex-husband Arch Kelley III, has spoken lovingly of her daughter in the past. "I will tell you this. My daughter is the strongest Judd woman in our 'herstory,' she told Fox News in February 2020. "She's healthier than I was at 23. How she got there — I would not go that way, but I was also sequestered. That could have been me if I didn't have music."
