Tennessee has lost one of its brightest lights, and the world has lost a true treasure.
Dolly Partonโs legacy reaches far beyond the music that made her an icon. Through her generosity, kindness, and genuine love for people, she touched countless lives and gave so much back to the state she proudly called home.
For those of us with Tennessee roots, there has always been something special about calling Dolly one of our own. She represented the very best of Tennessee while making an impact that knew no borders.
We join so many in celebrating an extraordinary life and all that she gave to Tennessee and the world.
Thank you, Dolly. You will always be a Tennessee treasure. โค๏ธ
