[Wishimaywishimight]

So sad to hear this 😪

A wonderful women who really did make the world a better place, this is such sad news

We listen to her "Hard Candy Christmas" every Christmas time. It's going to be so sad this year. Partner and I were huge fans.

What a lovely, heartfelt tribute from her nephew!💖🩷💖

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://www.imaginationlibrary.com

@FizzingAda I still have my son's copy of The little engine that could which was his first book from the imagination library when he started nursery, it came with a lovely little note explaining the charity's mission statement. So many people will be sad this evening, what a legacy.

I've just been listening to that too and I'm weepy.

Just go home from work and DH broke the news to me. He was a bit wobbly and so am I. I just absolutely loved her and so many of her wonderful songs. Coat Of Many Colours is in my top 20 of all time. Nine to Five is one of my favourite ever movies. RIP wonderful, amazing, supremely talented, just brilliant Dolly Parton 💔. I am gutted.

So sad, I absolutely loved Dolly ❤️

Idk why but that really got me. ❤️

Bless her 💔 Was only a couple of days ago she had said caring for her husband had taken a toll on her health.

9 to 5 ❤

She seemed so lovely. Very sad to hear this news. What a legacy she has left behind.

She’s one of those people who have always been there and you sort of presume they’ll always be there. She looked fab as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader not that long ago!

Absolutely gutted 💔 What a woman.

I saw Dolly Parton live once and she was by far the best act I’d ever seen. She played about 10 different instruments through the show and told jokes between the songs. She was so so talented. She’s been my favourite singer for as long as I can remember and I’m gutted ☹️

How wonderful that nobody has a bad word to say about her.

I liked the fact she worked so hard to get books to children

What a shame. She was a kind lady with a very pretty voice. I feel sad. RIP Dolly ✝

I grew up with such a shit childhood and Dolly got me through the worst years.

At times it felt she was all I had.

I had these gigantic headphones and would sit in a little gap between the wall and the record player, Dolly drowning out the noise of all the other shit going on in the house and in my life.

I never cry over the death of celebrities and find celebrity worship a bit odd but fuck me I am gutted. Going to have a few beers and a night of Dolly karaoke, fuck it.

I'm so sad. I had the pleasure to see her live once. An incredible woman. RIP Dolly

I actually cried. Love her so much. My children benefitted from her imagination library.

What a beautiful person, in every possible way. Rest in rhinestones, Dolly xx

Oh no, how sad. She was always such a joy to watch when she talked.

As sharp as a whip, never afraid to make fun of herself...what a life. So many people will be sad tonight.

RIP Dolly x

Lucky you!

Don’t tell anyone 😉🤫, but I gave my Newly Qualified Teacher, a days leave, so that she could stay on at Glastonbury to see Dolly!

The closest I ever got. ☺️

There seemingly was nothing bad about her. Must have been steely to survive in that business for so long and control her career but she just radiated joy.

She wanted to lay in a bed of plush cotton having lived her life in rhinestones 😪
