Wynonna, 58, recalled her mother's demeanor on stage that night. Wynonna Judd remembered Naomi Judd seeming unsettled during their last performance together.
Her first instinct, though, wasn't to comfort her mom. She was too focused on Naomi's massive dark red wig. Both of the Judd women were"alpha and determined" with each other, and tenderness was not something they shared easily. "It was sometimes hard for me to be tender with mom, because I’m the lead singer, and I’m on my own version of life, on my own journey," Judd continued."And I think it occurred to me, though. All of a sudden, she looked at me and blinked, and I knew then that something wasn’t right in terms of her being off a little bit, like, nervous.
