Patsy Cline's fame continued to grow even after her career was cut short. In 1973 she was the first solo female performer elected to Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame. She was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 1995, and received Grammy Hall of Fame Awards in 1992 for "Crazy," and in 2001 for "I Fall to Pieces." The USPS issued a 1993 Patsy Cline commemorative stamp, and Cline has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame despite never having made a movie. She has, however, been the subject of movies, documentaries, TV specials, and even musicals.

In Nashville, she's remembered with the Patsy Cline Museum, but in Winchester, Patsy is definitely the town's favorite daughter. There's a Patsy Cline memorial bell tower at Shenandoah Memorial Park, a Patsy Cline Memorial Highway (Route 522), and a Patsy Cline Boulevard (via Encyclopedia Virginia), and her childhood home is now The Patsy Cline Historic House (via Celebrating Patsy Cline) and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as being open to visitors as a museum. Every Labor Day the town also commemorates Patsy with a Patsy Cline Music Festival. It's not like anyone would be likely to forget Patsy Cline even without the festivals, signs, awards, and movies, though, since the 100+ recordings she made over her lifetime continue to speak — or sing — for her decades after her death.
