"The Last Coal Shovel" by Phyllis Boyens =Loretta Lynn's Mother in Coal Miners Daughter

This Song was recorded some years back by my wife's youngest Aunt=- Phyllis Sue Boyens when she had her 5 piece band. The name of the song is "THE LAST COAL SHOVEL". I put together this video. Phyllis Boyens also played in several Movies "Including the Dollmaker" , and Coal Miners Daughter- where she played Loretta Lynn's Mother. She is now Very Sick With CANCER, and is near the point of Death. I thought I would do this video in honor to her!

Here is the last update I have recieved on Phylis Sue Boyens= She is in very sick condition right now in some hospital in Florida--= They say she may die at any time. She has a Severe Case of Cancer! I think the family said she is down to weighing in the 70's lb range as of now-- I hate to hear that!!

I'm saddened to hear that Phyllis Bowens has passed away. She did an incredible job portraying Loretta Lynn's mom in Coal Miner's Daughter and should have received a best supporting actress nomination from the Academy Of Motion Picture Association for that role.

You tube is truley great to bring like minde people together. At the begining of the documentary Harlan County, Phyllis blew me away with her voice. I dont think she wasw credited in the docum. And it took me a while to find out who she was. I am far from that life or country and she really made an impression. it is now 2011 and i am still chasing her.

This Delmore Brothers song is actually called 'Last (c)old shovel'

I absolutely loved it. Never heard it. I loved the movie Coal Miner's Daughter, and thought she played a wonderful part as Loretta Lynn's mother. Thank you so much for sharing. Gwen
