As Tennessee’s favorite daughter, Dolly Parton represented the very best of our state: kindness, creativity, resilience, and a generous spirit that touched the world.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Dolly Parton, a true Tennessee treasure whose generosity, extraordinary talent, and brilliant business acumen changed lives far beyond the stage. She gave the world unforgettable music and, through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, built an enduring legacy of literacy that will be felt for generations.
