The world is a little dimmer after the passing of beloved country music icon Dolly Parton.
The “I Will Always Love You” artist died at the age of 80 on Tuesday, August 25, her family confirmed.
“My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly. But so have you. She has always been on your television, your record player, your CD and on your phone’s playlist, becoming an extended part of your family whether you liked it or not,” her nephew Brian Seaver shared in a heartfelt video announcement.
The family later revealed that, per Dolly’s request, the late singer would be laid to rest in a “small, private service held for immediate family.”
However, more than a decade prior to her passing, Dolly shared one detail that she wanted for her final goodbye.
“I’m sure they’ll be playing ‘I Will Always Love You’ when I die, just like they did with Whitney Houston,” Parton told Entertainment Weekly in 2014. “When they picked her coffin up and started in on that song, I started to cry, and I thought, ‘Oh my Lord.’ That’s when it hit me that she was really gone.”
While the ballad is arguably Parton’s biggest hit of her career, that was not the song she requested.
“There’s a song called ‘If We Never Meet Again,'” she said. “It’s an old country-gospel church song that talks about if we never meet again this side of heaven, I will meet you on that beautiful shore.”
Dolly died Tuesday after a “brief battle with cancer.” She was 80 years old.
