And we will always love you, Dolly. 💔

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

"DECORATION DAYS" are upon us!

"Decoration Day or Memorial Day", as it is known by local folk, is an annual observance at many southern cemeteries in which families gather to honor their ancestors. Most have tents set up where donations are taken, new flowers are placed on graves, and many partake in time honored "potluck" meal with friends, neighbors, and long lost cousins.

Although some of the time honored traditions, such as "scraping the ground" are no longer done, this old article will give you an idea of just how important Decoration Day traditions are.

Our upcoming Decoration/Memorial Days are as follow...

Wiygul Cemetery - Saturday, August 1st
Bro. Rob Sargent will be bringing the message at 11:00. We will have a pot luck lunch at Carolina Church after the service for anyone who would like to come. If you need to mail an offering for the upkeep please send to:
