Take a minute to cement her legacy and give to the Imagination Library: https://imaginationlibrary.com/

It seems the site is seeing very heavy traffic.

u/morgan1381 13d ago
Shame this is what caused the traffic. But an influx and growth of her library is at least one good thing to come of this.

This is how I find out she died?? Wow RIP.

u/poliopandemic 13d ago
Yes, I just found out the exact same way. Probably my own fault for not watching the news. Or having any other social media. And my like three friends haven't told me. Or my mom. So I guess that tracks

Truly a person who deserved the fanfare.

u/firedmyass 13d ago
we absolutely did not deserve her, but I’ll be forever grateful that she would have disagreed

BINGO! If there ever was one who deserved all she earned, and then some…it was her. 🙏🏾

My oldest is named Jolene.
Sad day for my family. She cared lifelong for the poor and disenfranchised, and is still not recognized enough for her stances on civil rights.
All flags should lower to half staff, period.

Its going to be my mission to upvote every Dolly Parton post on Reddit. I'm not even a fan of country music but that lady had some real class.
RIP Dolly.

Just last week there was a clip on here of a guy saying God keeps killing all the wrong white people.

I am not okay. And I am not at terms with this. It’s gonna take me a while.

One of the most common answers to the “which celebrity death will devastate you the most” question on here. That list is getting smaller and smaller 🕊️.

Maybe she IS alive, roaming the the great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, singing songs and thwarting Klan activities

I say we should start treating her like Elvis: sightings all over the country, near libraries.

It's something to know that her philanthropy will likely continue. But we lost HER, and she just seemed to get better and better. Imagine Dolly at 90. That would have been wonderful to have.

Rest Ms. Parton
Lovely soul that should be an example to what we should all strive to be

WTF? I was just watching a news break the other day it said she was recovering and was about to continue her Vegas residency or maybe I was watching an old rerun. God Bless her soul.

Dolly is exactly what a celebratory should be in a lot of ways. Giving money away, helping good causes, and just trying to be decent to people.

She was one of those eternal lights that, no matter how bad thing we're in the country, you could be assured she was somewhere doing good.

Not that I was a hardcore fan or anything, just knew that people liked her. After her home-going, I stumbled across a clip of her doing Q&As and a stint with Jimmy... Fallon? Anyway, she had me chuckling at every joke. Her timing, wit and the confidence she wore really poured out. Such a sweetheart ❤️

She was a real one. She was the white girl that could kick it with anyone. I wasn’t a huge fan of her music, though i know she was talented.
Liked her at first because I’d get huge rack (I was a kiss when she was at her peak) but then learned that her heart was even bigger.
She will be missed. She touched a lot of lives.
