No , Patsy grew up in Winchester. She started singing in church, and got herself on a couple radio shows. She knew she had talent, and actively pursued a career. Her name was Virginia Hensly and she married and divorced a fellow named Cline. Evidently he wasn’t very good to her.
I have a biography of her. She really helped Loretta get her career going. There’s even an interview that Loretta said that she was wearing underwear that Patsy had given her!
She helped Dottie West get off the ground too.
Even though she was only in the spotlight for 3 years, she had influenced many far beyond her life. She musta been one heckuva lady!
