Patsy's Last Moments of Life with her Second Marital Partner, Charlie Dick
C.R.A.Z.Y artist, Patsy enjoyed the most adventurous moments with an American Linotype operator, Charlie Dick. The two had a romantic and tempestuous type of relationship, "fueled with lots of arguments, pills, passion, jealousy, success, tears, laughter, and drinking habits."
The duo eventually had their first encounter in 1956, while Cline was performing with a Virginia-based local band. During their first interaction, Charlie asked Patsy to dance, but she said, "I can't dance while I'm working, okay?" Then, they started enjoying a lovely time together.

Nevertheless, their relationship was still under their hands until Patsy left the world during a plane crash in Camden, Tennessee on 5th March 1963.
The reason of the plane crash was terrific heavy weather, in which Patsy's wristwatch stopped at 6:20 p.m. Many of her fans said that was a sign of her end at the age of 30. Later, her family members and friends buried Patsy at Shenandoah Memorial Park in Winchester, Virginia.
