Country singer Kalie Shorr revealed devastating news Sunday, 6th of January. It was through a heartfelt message via her social media accounts.
The “Fight Like a Girl” singer made a video over the weekend announcing that her sister Ashley Coffman overdosed. This was after a decade-long battle with heroin addiction. Coffman was 37, and she was a mother of two children. The video also featured Shorr singing “Rhiannon” by Fleetwood Mac in honor of her sister.
Her Devastating Announcement
She captioned her posts with a heartfelt message about her sister and advised her fans to contact someone immediately when they have a loved one who is suffering from drug addiction.
“Yesterday, my beautiful sister Ashley Rhiannon passed away of a heroin overdose. I don’t even know what to say and I really never thought I would end up here. […] It’s so hard when you love someone and they are battling addiction because they lose so much of themselves in the process, but I am so thankful for the last conversation I had with her… I really got to tell her how much I loved her and the last words she ever said to me were “I am so proud of you”. I’ll never forget that and that’s how I will always remember her.
She ended the post by providing the drug help line as well as their website. Outpour of support for Shorr and her family erupted in her multiple social media accounts, and she was quick to acknowledge and thank her fans. Shorr has since put up a GoFundMe page for her sister’s children. The page read:
“Although addiction is a complex issue, these children did not deserve to suffer even more. They are being taken in by [a] close family who love[s] them infinitely but were not financially prepared to raise two young children”
