Dolly Parton died at age 80 after what her representatives described as a brief battle with cancer. Her specific diagnosis was not disclosed, and she died at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones. Tributes highlighted her seven-decade music and acting career, while her family requested donations to her Imagination Library literacy program instead of flowers. Her legacy includes hits such as “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You,” extensive philanthropy and support for medical research.
