Winchester, Virginia, is paying respects to a country music legend who put the town on the map.
Born in Winchester as Virginia Patterson Hensley in 1932, Patsy Cline became one of the first country music artists to successfully cross over into pop music and had several smash hits, most famously "I Fall to Pieces" and "Crazy," during her eight-year recording caree
Now, President Joe Biden has signed into law a bill renaming the post office along Winchester’s walking mall after the country music icon.
“Patsy Cline was a trailblazing woman in the music industry, a legendary vocalist whose music and influence touch us still today, and — most importantly — a beloved daughter of Winchester, Virginia,” said Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton in a statement. “I’m proud to have carried the legislation which will forever commemorate the legacy of Patsy Cline by renaming the Walking Mall post office in her honor. As we approach what would have been her 90th birthday later this year, I’m excited that we’ll have one more way to celebrate Patsy’s remarkable life here in her hometown.”
