MOUNT VERNON, Mo. — Gospel singer-songwriter Joyce "Dottie" Rambo died early Sunday when the bus she was in ran off a road in southwest Missouri and struck an embankment.
Rambo, 74, of Nashville, Tenn., died in the crash about two miles east of Mount Vernon on Interstate 44, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. Seven other people in the bus were injured, and were hospitalized in Springfield with moderate to severe injuries, the patrol said.
It was unclear if the accident, which occurred about 2 a.m., was weather-related, the patrol said. Severe storms and tornadoes hit the region about 6 p.m. Saturday, killing 14 people. Sustained winds and storms swept through the area later in the night, according to the National Weather Service."She was a giant in the gospel music industry," said Beckie Simmons, Rambo's agent. "Dolly Parton recorded some of her songs."
She was on her way to a Mother's Day performance in Texas, according to her Web site.
Rambo was inducted to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007.
Rambo has had more than 2,500 published songs, including gospel classics such as "He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need" and the 1982 Gospel Music Association Song of the Year, "We Shall Behold Him."

You know, it can be attributed to the storm/weather, even if it was a limb that was blown across the highway which caused the bus to run off the road 24 hours later. Not all the facts are known yet, but no one is deliberately handing out misinformation.
It certainly is a fact that Dottie Rambo was killed. No rumor there. A tragic loss which should be the focus of the thread.
Very true indeed. Sorry if I started something.. just stating what I was directly told by my immediate family some of which were on the actual scene of the accident due to living directly across from where the accident occured. Yes it is a tragedy and something that will forever impact the future of gospel music. She is a dear lady and will be missed greatly.
They are trying to get to town to get me pictures which I want to post later if I can but there has supposedly been a beautiful public memorial of flowers put near the site of the accident and a beautiful picture memorial.
