While it may not be adorned in rhinestones and diamonds, Dolly Parton’s name is now etched over the doors of the former East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville, which earlier this year announced it would be named after the legendary country music star.
Parton, who hailed from Locust Ridge, Tenn., worked for decades on behalf of kids and families in her home state and far beyond. Her family announced Tuesday Parton has died. She was 80.
