Dolly Parton Is In Mourning After Her Husband’s Death

Dolly Parton’s husband Carl Dean passed away at the age of 82. He played a crucial role in Parton’s life and career even though he was not in the spotlight. The vocalist is now grieving the loss of her significant other.

Dolly Parton posted on social media Monday to announce the death of her husband, Carl Dean. He was eighty-two years of age. In an Instagram post, Parton shared her sadness: “Carl and I had a lot of amazing years together. The love we shared for more than 60 years is beyond words. We appreciate your condolences and prayers.

Dean will be buried in a private ceremony with his immediate family, according to an official statement. He is survived by his siblings Donnie and Sandra. The family requests privacy in this trying time.

Since the start of Dolly Parton’s career, fans have found Carl Dean to be an enigma. He was rarely spotted in pictures and never went to events with the well-known singer. Parton clarified that their mutual commitment to keep him out of the spotlight contributed to the stability of their relationship. “There’s a great comfort in knowing that someone loves you exactly for who you are—because he fell in love with me before I became a star,” Parton stated in an interview with “E!”

Two years after they first met, on May 30, 1966, Dolly Parton and Carl Dean were married in Ringgold, Georgia. They met for the first time at a Nashville laundromat. Parton subsequently said that it was unusual for her to have Dean stare at her face during a conversation, so she was shocked and thrilled.

Dolly Parton frequently gave Dean credit for having a beneficial impact on her life. She must now bid him farewell for good.
