Dolly Parton revealed on Instagram that her husband, Carl Dean, passed away at 82, after over 60 years together. Throughout their relationship, they expressed love through shared meals, often reminiscing about humble beginnings and favorite dishes. They first met in 1964 outside a laundromat, where Dean felt an immediate connection, thinking, 'I'm gonna marry that girl.' Despite her massive success, Parton fondly recalled simpler times featuring fast food and cooking together, showcasing their enduring bond built around love and food.
Dolly and Carl couldn't afford anything more than a tiny silver tree that sat on their coffee table and a candle placed in the living room window.
Parton announced that Dean had died at the age of 82, writing in an Instagram statement that "words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years."
