Country music singer Lynn Anderson has passed away. The "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden" hitmaker died from cardiac arrest at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennesse on Thursday, July 30. She was 67.

Anderson started her career in the 1960s. Her hit singles included "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away)" and "That's a No-No", but it was "Rose Garden" that made her a household name in the industry and earned her a Grammy and Country Music Award in 1971.

In the wake of her death, Martina McBride remembered Anderson in a statement to Billboard, "I met Lynn after I did a version of her song Rose Garden on my album Timeless. She sent me roses and a sweet note. I was honored to share the stage with her at the Grand Ole Opry where we sang a version of Rose Garden together. I'll never forget it. She was always so gracious and sweet to me."

Chely Wright took to Twitter to pay tribute to the singer, "I'm really, truly sad to hear that Lynn Anderson has passed. She was really something." Travis Tritt was also among the mourners, "I'm extremely saddened to hear of the passing of the great Lynn Anderson. She was always so nice & sweet to me."

Lynn Anderson is survived by her father, country singer Casey Anderson; her partner Mentor Williams; and her children, Lisa Sutton, Melissa Hempel, and Gray Stream.
