Dolly Parton thanks her husband’s death for sympathy
Dolly Parton lost her husband Carl Thomas Dean on Monday. Now the musician turns to her family, friends and fans.
Country star Dolly Parton thanked her family, friends and fans for the sympathy after the death of her husband on Instagram. “Thank you for all the news, cards and flowers that you sent to have the last honor for my beloved husband Carl,” wrote the 79-year-old. “He is now in God’s arms and that’s okay for me,” it said in the text she described as a “love greeting”.
The US singer had previously told her social networks that Carl Thomas Dean died in Nashville on Monday at the age of 82. “Carl and I have spent many wonderful years together. Words of love we shared for over 60 years cannot do justice.” She did not indicate a cause of death. Parton asked for privacy for her family.
Married over 58 years
Parton and Dean have been married since May 1966 – more than 58 years. The building contractor and the singer had no children.
In contrast to Parton, her partner held back from the public. “It’s just not his kind,” the singer told the US portal “Entertainment Tonight” 2020 in an interview. “He is a quiet, reserved person and he thought, if he was ever out there, he would never have a minute calm.”
