Dionne Warwick said of Dolly Parton: “I will certainly miss her laugher, jokes and her being. Rest well and in total peace my friend. My heart is heavy.”

The two singers collaborated on the gospel duet “Peace Like a River,” which came out in February 2023.

The official account for the Muppets posted on Instagram: “There will never be another quite like Dolly Parton. She was the ultimate singer, songwriter, actress, performer, and philanthropist. She filled the world with light and we are so grateful for every second we got to spend with her onstage and off.”

Country singer Reba McEntire wrote in a post shared on her social media accounts: “Well, I just got the news that my buddy Dolly passed onto the higher and greater side.

“Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth,” she wrote. “Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart. There will never ever be another you.”

She continued, “We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang. Thank you, Lord, for Dolly. She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her.

“I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart. I will always love you, Reba.”

The singer became dizzy and was dehydrated, according to a report at the time, and her doctor advised her against traveling.

Actor Henry Winkler said in a post on X: “What a sad day for America what a sad day for the world what a sad day for the [Parton] family.”

“Dolly!” he wrote. “We will miss you in more ways than one can say you were a treasure on this earth.”

Winkler directed the 1986 film A Smoky Mountain Christmas, which starred Parton as country singer Lorna Davis.

Following Dolly Parton’s death at 80, a Change.org petition that calls to rename the Nashville International Airport “Dolly Parton International Airport” has received renewed attention.

The petition has received more than 50,000 signatures.

More than two million books are mailed each month globally by Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

In 2023, the singer’s program gifted its 200th millionth book since its launch in 1995.

“Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He concluded: “Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you.”

“I’m devastated. Truly,” Keke Palmer wrote in a tribute to Dolly Parton on Instagram.

Palmer and Parton worked together on the 2012 musical comedy Joyful Noise.

Country singer Kacey Musgraves wrote on X: “Dolly. This really really hurts.”

In further tweets, she added “The world feels a lot less sparkly all of a sudden.”

“So glad she’s with her Carl Dean. No one talk to me today,” she said.
