The August 2 show show was a tapestry of stories, songs and affection from artists who called Seely a friend, mentor and Opry North Star.

Jeannie Seely, the soulful country music singer behind such standards like "Don't Touch Me," has died. She was 85. Her publicist, Don Murry Grubbs, said she died Friday after succumbing to complications from an intestinal infection.

We had many wonderful laughs together, cried over certain things together, and she will be missed,” Dolly Parton wrote.
