Dolly Parton has announced the passing of her husband Carl Dean, who died on March 3 at the age of 82. The couple had been married for nearly 60 years, and Parton shared a heartfelt message expressing her deep love and appreciation for their time together. Dean, an asphalt-paving businessman, maintained a low profile throughout their marriage, with limited public discussion about their relationship. Parton reflected fondly on their first meeting at a laundromat, highlighting Dean's genuine interest in her as a person. The family requests privacy during this difficult time.
"Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy."
"I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me), he seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about."
