The couple raised four children, and in recent years the family toured together, with Jackie Guthrie working as the videographer. This past summer, the family toured to celebrate the centennial birthday of Arlo's father, folk singer Woody Guthrie, and Jackie became so weak she could barely hold up the camera, according to the obituary. In early September, she was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer. On his website, Arlo Guthrie said his wife called her family to her bedside early Sunday and died later that morning. On his Facebook page, Arlo Guthrie said he's canceling or postponing some upcoming shows and will begin a planned tour in Canada next week. Jackie Guthrie is survived by her four children with Arlo Guthrie; her daughter with singer David Crosby; and 10 grandchildren.
