Was never a fan of her music, or her movies, but this appears to be one of those good people that come around once in a while and are in a position to help.

She's done tons for children around the USA and has been a net positive to the world.

RIP Dolly. You will be missed.

I too wasn't a big fan of her music, but as a person, she's definitely one to look up to...from humble (very humble) beginnings to all of this...wow, just wow! RIP Dolly...

My friend's sister has lived in Pigeon Forge for years. She says that most of the stuff she did for everyone in the holler no outsider will ever know about.

Here's a decent list of her philanthropy. What an amazing legacy.

Dolly was worth $600 million, she gave most of it away to charity

Always humble, the singer changed lives in ways you may not even realise.

I admired the way she handled the press and her fans. She had phenomenal hits and a lot of lesser known stuff. RIP Dolly.

She wrote three thousand songs , that’s prolific. Her philanthropy at the grass roots level , for people that needed it most is remarkable and incredible. She was and is an example of what can be done .
RIP Dolly

A good `ol common sense country girl like Dolly would be a plus as a go-between with waring politicians. Rest in Peace Dolly.

Even Trump respected her. Apparently he ordered all federal flags to fly half mast for a week.

For those who listen to classic country music she was and icon, she wrote many songs that was recorded by many other artists

Agreed. She was a class act the entire time and the world would be a much better place if there were a million (or more) Dolly's in it.
