Naomi Judd's wayward granddaughter will not make it to the country music legend's funeral because she still behind bars serving an eight-year prison stretch for cooking and dealing meth.
Grace Kelley, 26, the daughter of Wynonna Judd, never asked to be released from behind bars in Tennessee, Dorinda Carter, spokeswoman for the state Department of Correction, told DailyMail.com.
'We have not received a request,' Carter said. 'No one has asked.'
The Grammy-winning singer died of suicide at the age of 76 on Saturday after a lifelong bout with severe depression. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday.
It's unclear when her funeral will be held.
Kelley was arrested in 2020, and sentenced to eight years behind bars. She was granted parole in 2021, but was soon back in prison after violating her parole conditions.
