Dolly Parton announced the passing of her husband, Carl Dean, who died at 82. They enjoyed a loving marriage lasting nearly 60 years, and Dean will be buried privately. Parton expressed profound gratitude for their years together, highlighting the genuine connection they shared since their first meeting outside a laundromat. Dean, a businessman, often maintained a low profile, and Parton humorously noted public skepticism about his existence. Dean is survived by Parton and his siblings, with family requesting privacy during this time.
Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.
I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me). He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about.
A lot of people say there's no Carl Dean, that he's just somebody I made up to keep other people off me.
So that people could at least know that I'm not married to a wart or something.
