There are so many ways to remember Dolly Parton.

Play a favorite song. Share a story that made you smile. Read a book with a child. And, if you feel called to, help continue a dream that meant so much to her.

Dolly created Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library because she believed every child should have the opportunity to love reading, dream big and see a world of possibilities ahead of them. That dream will continue, with books finding their way into the hands and hearts of children for generations to come.

Here in our community, you can honor Dolly’s legacy by supporting Imagination Library of Waco and helping provide books to local children from birth to age five.

To make a gift in Dolly’s memory, visit ImaginationLibrary.com and designate your donation to our local program.

Thank you, Dolly, for the songs, the stories and a dream that will keep turning pages for years to come. ❤️

Dream More, Learn More, Care More, Be More™.

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
