Amanda Fortini(@amandafortini):Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Dean, died in March 2025. They were married for 60 years. It's not unusual that when one half a longtime partnership dies, the other, heartbroken, soon follows. I hope they're reunited in heaven, because if anyone is going there, Dolly is.
