"What she was giving her family at home, she was giving her fans on stage because that was her family. That was her road family," said Patsy Lynn.
Russell was eliminated after making the Top 5 Season 22 of 'America Idol,' which premiered in February. She wowed judges with her original song 'Skinny,' about body image struggles.
Russell's grandmother, Loretta Lynn, defined the feminist country music woman in the 1960s by daring to sing about divorce, birth control, and self-determination.
