Dolly Parton’s husband dies at age 82
Carl Dean, the husband of Dolly Parton, has died Monday, aged 82.
The couple were married for almost 60 years, but the country music superstar kept out of the spotlight.
Dolly Parton said “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together.
“Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years,” Parton wrote in a post on X.
Dolly met Dean in 1964 outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time, she was 18 and he was 21.
“I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me),” she said.
“He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about,” she added.
They married two years later in May 1966 in a simple ceremony attended only by Parton’s mother, the preacher and his wife.

It was further learned that Mbaya, who was still processing an outstanding academic issue, had attended a social event on campus before deciding to spend the night at a friend’s residence in Ring Road because it was too late to return to his home in Rayfield.
It was reported that the following morning, his friends claimed an iPhone had gone missing and insisted that since they were the only occupants of the room, he was the prime suspect. Thereafter, they beat him to death.
