BLOOMFIELD, CT (August 25, 2026) — The Bloomfield Community Dispatch shares in the profound sadness sweeping the globe at the loss of the great American icon and philanthropist, Dolly Parton. While we say goodbye with heavy hearts, we also do so with immense fondness, remembering her light.

A titan of music, her voice was a force of nature and her songs, from “Jolene” to “I Will Always Love You,” provided a soundtrack for generations. She was more than just a performer; she was a master storyteller and a beacon of hope.

Her heart was as big as her talent. Dolly’s commitment to service, most notably through her revolutionary Imagination Library and her tireless support of her East Tennessee home and other charitable causes, defined her true legacy. She showed the world that generosity is a vital art form.

“You will always be loved and adored. From the Bloomfield Community Dispatch.”
