We are deeply saddened to learn that Dolly Parton has passed away. As the community partner for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Colonial Beach will continue to honor her legacy by providing free books to children. Rest in peace!

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

Let us know at [email protected].

The Foundation and the Colonial Beach Chamber of Commerce are co-hosting the Candidates for Town Council Forum on September 9 at 6 p.m. in the Elementary School gym.

Your questions will be asked and answered. This is a question and answer forum not a debate. Each candidate will have time to offer an introduction, answer each question asked, and then give a closing summary.

Today is National Nonprofit Day, and we’re celebrating the many nonprofits that make Colonial Beach stronger.

Did you know the Colonial Beach Community Foundation has invested more than $1 million back into our community since 2005?

Every dollar we raise through donations and fundraisers goes right back to work — supporting grants, scholarships, kids’ camps, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and so much more.

And because we’re **100% volunteer-led, none of your donations go toward salaries or paid employees.**

When you give to CBCF, you can feel good knowing your generosity stays right here in the community.

Give local. Make a difference. Build community.
