Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NEW VINTAGE ART EXHIBIT! It started when we discovered a 1930s edition of L’Illustration news magazine in a dusty section of a vintage book shop along a canal in the south of France last year. We saw the beauty of it and purchased their only copy. Upon our return to the U.S., we were able to acquire three other 1930s editions. We now present a collection of artfully framed original advertising and art pages from four 1930s editions! L’Illustration was the first illustrated French newspaper and later the first illustrated international news magazine. The advertisements themselves are works of art and still worthy of appreciation by art enthusiasts almost a hundred years later! Available for purchase, they could find a new life in your home, office, or business!
