NOOOOOOOO
Rest in peace.
Immense respect to Carl because he kept out of the spotlight and let his wife be the shining star she is. A great relationship between 2 partners who loved each other and did not limit one’s possibilities or push one’s boundaries, genuine respect between them.❤️
I’m so sorry for her. I’ve been married 52 years I hope I pass away first.
In 2011, Parton said, “We’re really very proud of our marriage. It’s the first for both of us. And the last.”
RIP
My heart goes out to Dolly. How awful to lose him, but how wonderful to have had so much time together ❤️
Rest in Peace Carl
Omg! 😭 I’m sorry to hear that. I heard they were sweethearts together
Jolene better not come to the wake.
how am i this emotionally upset over someone ive only seen 3 pictures of
One of my favorite photos ever is when Dolly recreated her Playboy cover for Carl’s birthday a few years ago. Sending love to her and his family/friends.

60 years married together is honestly an impressive feat these days. They were so private with their relationship, but when she did talk to him, she was so happy and her eyes lit up. Hope she’s okay. 😭❤️
R.I.P, to lose the person you’ve spent most of your life with must be one of the greatest pains in the world. I hope she has support while she grieves.
Aw I feel so bad for her. You knew the love was strong with this one
I can’t imagine losing my spouse. 60 years is such a long time and all the things they’ve experienced together and then they’re gone. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Prayers to Dolly as she grieves.
RIP🙏🏻
Damn. A true partnership for the ages. 💔
Oh Dolly 💕 To lose someone after that many years together must be devastating.
Not Carl Dean! RIP and deepest condolences to Dolly.
My condolences to the man strong enough to love Americas Sweetheart.
Ohh no! Such a shame 😞 RIP
Nooo. They were together forever
Oh, that’s just so sad. Poor Dolly.
They have been married since the 60s, which is insane. “Till death do us part” 🙏🏿 🕊
I Will Always Love You will truly destroy me the next time I hear it now
This is so sad. My daughter has a Little Golden Book about Dolly and it features a short bit about her marriage. I hope he passed peacefully, that his family has the support they need, and that his memory is a blessing. They truly seemed made for each other.
NO!!!!! 😭 Dolly i’m so sorry!
Prayers up for Dolly, her music and spirit have gotten me through so many hard times I wish I could return the favour 😭
oh my god no this makes me so sad 60 years is so long i feel so sad for dolly and rest in peace to carl he was so good to her 💔💔💔
A lifetime of love. If we could be so lucky
14 years of marriage and I cannot fathom the loss it would be absolutely world shattering you’d be completely lost
Being with someone that long, it must feel like losing oxygen or water. Something that’s always there, that’s a part of how you live in such an integral way. I hope Dolly’s got people around her to support her right now.
Omg 😭. Rip Carl.
GOD take away the pain dolly is feeling and give it to every person involved in emilia perez
:'(
Aww nooo
