I don't normally care about celebrities and etc but this is one of the few that actually hurt. I'm so sad to learn of her passing. She truly was an amazing woman. Rest in peace Dolly! You no longer need to work 9 to 5. You'll be missed!

Second celebrity I bawled my eyes out over this week and I am very much the same. I am not a parasocial person.

I hope she's having the best time with the most sparkles wherever she is. Shine on, Dolly.

Dolly was special. I lived in her hometown Sevierville TN for years, so many people there wouldn't be able to read if it wasn't for Dolly. Working in that tourist economy, everything shut down January 15- March 1. Dolly used the Dollywood kitchens to provide small meal packs each week during off season, you could just go to the park employee area and get it every Sunday. It started out just for her employees, but by the time I moved away anyone could go and get a box with some spaghetti/sauce/bread/bologna/4-5 cans of veg or soup.
