Her mother was the country music star Dottie West, whose career spanned three decades.
The younger West reached her peak in popularity during the 1980s before mostly retiring in the wake of her mother's death.
West's career coincided with her mother Dottie's reinvention of herself as a country pop star.
West appeared on numerous episodes of Country Family Reunion on RFD-TV.
She reunited with David Frizzell for two shows on October 13, 2012, at the God and Country Theater in Branson, Missouri.
