Folk music icon Arlo Guthrie, son of Okemah native Woody Guthrie, lost his wife Jackie to a battle with cancer.
Jackie Guthrie, nee Hyde, died Sunday, Arlo posted to his official Website and Facebook pages after 2:30 p.m. Sunday:
"She was at peace with the life and dreams we shared together for almost 45 years. We stayed at her bedside through the morning until about 11:45 when she gently breathed her last breath. She will remain in our hearts and memories as she does for many of you. Thank you for your prayers and notes. ... With Love, adg"Jackie described herself on her Twitter page as living in Massachusetts and as "Mother and grandmother of a bunch of folk singers. Married that wandering folk singer, Arlo Guthrie 42 years ago. Work in multimedia & art."
Arlo posted this morning,
"I've had to cancel and postpone a few shows coming up. I will make them up as soon as possible. The tour will begin with the gigs scheduled for Canada, and I will move ahead through the rest of whatever happens next. Our wonderful guru, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati always reminded us to stay in the moment - no thought of the past or future. The moment is all we really have, the rest is fiction. Jackie and I lived that teaching as best we could and I will continue to be present and accounted for."No further details are available at this time.
