Our hearts are heavy with the news of the passing of Dolly Parton. Our thoughts are with Dolly Parton’s family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and supporters.

Dolly was an incredible ambassador and advocate for Tennessee and Tennesseans. Dolly shared the genuine warmth and kindness of Tennessee across the globe. Love of her home state brought folks from all corners of the world to Tennessee to experience the beauty found only here. Dolly gave generously of her time, talents, and resources to Tennesseans, encouraging others to follow their dreams and reach for joy.

Dolly, we miss you already and as fellow Tennesseans, thank you for everything. 💖
