Episode Details

Country music lost its brightest star this week with the passing of Dolly Parton, who died in Nashville after a battle with health struggles. A global icon known for timeless hits like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You,” she sold over 100 million records and touched millions more through her Imagination Library, which gifted free books to children. Her nephew revealed she’s now reunited with her late husband Carl Dean, calling her “in the arms of Jesus.” Beyond her music, Dolly was a trailblazer who opened doors for countless artists and dreamers, earning 55 Grammy nominations and 10 wins. Even Donald Trump hailed her as irreplaceable, ordering flags to be lowered in tribute. A private service will be held for her family, with donations requested to support her beloved literacy program — ensuring her legacy lives on through the power of stories and hope.
