Dolly Parton

Forest Park Funeral Home joins people around the world in remembering and celebrating the extraordinary life and legacy of Dolly Parton—beloved singer, songwriter, actress, author, businesswoman, and humanitarian.

From her humble beginnings in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, Dolly became one of the most recognizable and treasured figures in American music. Her unmistakable voice, remarkable songwriting, humor, generosity, and genuine love for others touched generations of people.

Her legacy extends far beyond her music. Through her charitable work, including Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she helped provide books to millions of children and encouraged a lifelong love of reading. Her kindness, faith, determination, and ability to remain true to her roots made her an inspiration to people from all walks of life.

While the world mourns the loss of an irreplaceable icon, Dolly’s music, generosity, and the countless lives she touched will ensure that her legacy lives on for generations to come.

In honor of Dolly Parton and the impact she has had on so many lives, Forest Park Funeral Home will have a Memorial Register Book available for members of our community to sign from Monday, August 31 through Friday, September 25, 2026.

Anyone who would like to pay tribute to Dolly is invited to stop by and sign the book or leave a personal message in her memory.

At the conclusion of the memorial period, Forest Park Funeral Home will send the completed Memorial Book to the Parton family as an expression of sympathy, love, and appreciation from our community.

For those wishing to honor Dolly’s memory through a charitable contribution, donations may be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, continuing her lifelong commitment to putting books into the hands of children and inspiring a love of reading.
