The world lost an icon this week, with Dolly Parton passing away on August 25, aged 80. The country music icon left behind a legacy of philanthropy, music and wisdom - especially when it comes to keeping the spark alive.
Dolly was married to her husband, Carl Dean, for 58 years before his passing in March 2025 - having met outside a laundromat by complete chance in 1964, And while Carl kept out of the spotlight for most of that time, Dolly often spoke about how they made it work.
