Stella Parton Honors Dolly Parton in Facebook Tribute 2 Days After Cancer Death

Stella Parton posted a lengthy Facebook tribute to Dolly Parton on Thursday, describing the country star as generous, thoughtful and kind after her death Tuesday following a cancer diagnosis.
Tuesday-morning phone coffees anchored Stella’s remembrance: she said the sisters spoke before sunrise for years, gossiping, joking and staying close as “little farm girls” and early risers.
One example Stella shared underscored Dolly’s public image: she said Dolly once told her that if her illness became terminal, she would try experimental drugs if it could help others in the future.
Stella urged fans to honor Dolly by showing more kindness and giving more time and resources, as tributes from celebrities, politicians and all living U.S. presidents continued to pour in.
