A true musical giant, one of a kind.

She certainly seemed like a very nice lady. I remember seeing her for the first time on the Porter Wagoner Show when I was a little kid in the early 70s.

Very sad. She seemed like a very, very nice person.

Sorry to hear this, She was a class act.

I also remember her from the Portor Wagner show. She had such a bubbly personality. She will be missed.

I can still remember my Mom playing "9 to 5" over and over on the turntable back in the early 80's.

She always seemed like a genuine and classy lady to me.

Dolly donated THIRTY MILLION dollars the East Tennessee Children's Hospital and it has been renamed Dolly Parton Children's Hospital.
I have been very actively involved with the rebrand as I am the color scientist involved with all the ADA compliance products. We got word today and will be producing memorial items in front of the grand opening now.
I was REALLY looking forward to the grand opening. Me being from the deep South, she was one of my major influences. She will be greatly missed.

She was a great performer, a genuinely nice person, and helped many people through her involvement.

Dolly Parton helped people through decades of major charitable giving, including children's literacy programs, disaster relief, and medical research.
Key Philanthropic Projects
Imagination Library: Started in 1995, this program gifted over 300 million free books to children worldwide from birth to age five.
The Dollywood Foundation: Launched in 1988 to lower high school dropout rates in her home county in Tennessee, successfully dropping the rate from 35% to 6%.
Disaster Relief: Created the My People Fund in 2016 to give $1,000 a month to families who lost homes in wildfires, and later gave millions for Hurricane Helene and flood relief.
Medical Research: Donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University in 2020, which helped fund early research for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
If you have SeriusXM -
SiriusXM is paying tribute to the life, music, and legacy of Dolly Parton with The Dolly Parton Tribute Channel (Ch. 105) on car radios and the SiriusXM app.
