Naomi Judd

She was diagnosed in 1990 with a potentially life-threatening liver disease (Hepatitus C), which she contracted while working as a nurse in an intensive-care unit in the 1980s.

The Judds' (she and Wynonna Judd) Farewell Tour was the industry's top-grossing tour in 1991. She performed before a billion people worldwide at the 1994 Super Bowl Halftime Show. She and Wynonna reunited for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion concert at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1999.

Selected by Kayser-Roth Corporation's No Nonsense Pantyhose as their "No Nonsense American Woman of the Month" for May 1995.

Many of Naomi's discoveries and life lessons can be found in her book, "Naomi's Home Companion: A Treasury of Favorite Recipes, Food For Thought, and Kitchen Wit and Wisdom" which was published in October 1997. She also published her second children's book entitled, Guardian Angels in 2000 following closely on the heels of her 1999 bestselling children's story, "Love Can Build a Bridge" (shares the same name as the Grammy-award winning song by the Judds)
