Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

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 www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Removing ticks as soon as possible is the best way to prevent Lyme disease. You can use a pair of fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal card to remove it carefully and safely. More information - ow.ly/bUtG50Zazbq

What a brilliant experience FameLab and Cheltenham science festival has been. Never in my wildest dream think that I would place in the final. Delighted to be runner up in the famelab uk 2026 final, but the real prize has been the learning, networking, and gaming some amazing new friends on the way.

Made it to the Cheltenham science festival safely after a very long, an interesting (not in a good way) train journey yesterday. Decided to have a full costume dry run which included drawing an oversized leech bite onto myself. Did I check the pen was washable? Of course not! 😂🙈

The myth, the legend, that is Otis Redding. 19 years old, still ruling to roost and bullying the dogs. He’s become more dependent on our company since Miss Dusty Springfield passed but not sure another litre friend is the answer. Any experiences of older pets who have lost their companion?

Took little T to ‘The Night Garden’ live show yesterday. Not sure I’ll ever recover. 1/2 the audience arrived late. Kid behind vomited. Kid beside shat themself. People eating smelly food all around. Got mugged at the merch stand. Little T loved it (although he keeps talking about the smell/noise) 🤢

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

Today was annual leave and self care day. Self care in this house typically involves hair dye or ink and needles. Today was the latter (although there’s a whole evening ahead). Massive thanks to Lauren at Brass Buddha in Tranent who always has blown me away with her talent. #tattoo #selfcare

Been drinking a lot of this cordial. Bottle said 1:4 with water but I found it a bit weak so pouring a solid 1:3. Husband tasted it last night & looked like he was going to be sick. On revision of the instructions it’s actually suppose to be 1:14 cordial:water. My sweet tooth/bad eyes strike again 😂
