Dolly Parton leaves behind a legacy that reaches far beyond music.

Her belief in the power of books and childhood literacy became Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program inspired by her father and a simple dream that every child should grow up with books in their home.

The CenterPoint Energy Foundation has been proud to help carry that dream forward in Indiana, supporting the Imagination Library’s growth in communities across the state and, most recently, its continued statewide reach. Today, children in all 92 Indiana counties have access to free books delivered directly to their homes each month.

We are grateful to have played a small part in a legacy that will live on in generations of young readers.

Our thoughts are with Dolly’s family, loved ones and the millions of people whose lives she touched.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
