Carl, has passed away at the age of 82.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

That is so sad to hear, Dolly did mention that she was cutting back on her schedule to take care of her husband due to his declining health.   Rest in peace, Carl Dean.

Re: Dolly Parton’s husband

They were married for almost 60 years. This is the only photo I have ever seen of him, it was on the People web site. Taken in the mid 1980's

They truly were private they got married in May 1966 so close to the 60 year anniversary.  The only people at the simple wedding was the preacher and his wife.
