Through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, she has helped foster a lifelong love of reading among our youngest Virginians. Her generosity has expanded opportunity for countless children and strengthened communities across the Commonwealth. Our prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

I hereby order that the flags shall be lowered at 6:00pm ET this evening, August 25, and remain at half-staff until sunset on Tuesday, September 1.

Ordered on this 25ᵗʰ day of August 2026.
