Tennessee is mourning the loss of an incredible Tennessean today. 💔 And our world lost a little bit of its sparkle with the passing of Dolly Parton.
She was so much more than an incredible entertainer. She was funny, warm, humble, generous, and a true beacon of kindness and hope. Her heart for children and literacy touched countless lives, and she used her platform to make the world a better place.
Dolly represented so much of what we love about Tennessee: talented, hardworking, genuine, generous, and never afraid to laugh at herself along the way.
What an incredible legacy she leaves behind. Thank you for all the laughter, music, kindness, and light you brought into this world, Dolly. You will be deeply missed. 🤍
