TENNESSEE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF TENNESSEE COUNTRY MUSIC ICON, DOLLY PARTON
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Democratic Party mourns the passing of legendary Tennessee music icon, Dolly Parton, a trailblazer whose remarkable life and career made an indelible mark on Tennessee and the world
Statement from Rachel Campbell, Chairwoman of the Tennessee Democratic Party:
“Tennessee is better because of Dolly Parton. A true Tennessee trailblazer, she carried the spirit of the Smoky Mountains with her wherever she went, leading with ambition, generosity, kindness, and an unwavering love for the people and places that shaped her.
From humble roots in East Tennessee to becoming an irrepressible singer-songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur, Dolly built a legacy rooted in giving back and changing countless lives. She turned her namesake Tennessee theme park, Dollywood, into one of the world’s top amusement destinations, invested in the region’s economy and communities, and launched the Imagination Library, which has put books into the hands of millions of children. Her legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
Her loss will be felt deeply across Tennessee and beyond. Thank you, Dolly.”
