Sad to hear that - I know she had been ill over the last few months, but she was always a bright, positive light who gave a lot back.  Never really was within my musical tastes, but seemed like one helluva good person and a total icon.

I know she just lost her husband last year and just started declining after that... just goes to show you the strength of depression 😢

TDC... RIP Dolly. She always had a wholesome air about her.

When wildfires were taking a toll on Eastern Tennessee, Dolly donated a million dollars or two to help people in that area.  When Hurricane Helene came along in 2024 she donated a million or two out of her own pocket to help people again.

Wow, this one really makes me sad.  Like her music or not, Dolly wrote a lot of great songs and when you heard a song of hers, you knew it was her.  And she did so much for others when she didn't have to.  I'm sure she did plenty that no one ever heard about.

There were several interesting guitars in the museum at Dollywood when we visited sometime in the '90s, including an original all-chrome Veleno

There are not a lot of people left in the public eye that stir much southern pride in me these days, but she was damn sure one of them. Sad to see her go, but I hope I manage a 1/10th of the positive things she did for people. Pretty inspiring life for anyone who knew her beyond the boobs and hair, and even that image was brilliant.

Great artist & an amazing songwriter. 

R.I.P.  😞

She will require a specially-shaped casket.
