Dolly Parton had been suffering from cancer and was admitted to a cancer center at the time of her passing, a new statement confirms. (Instagram)
Dolly Parton died Tuesday, August 25, at 80, after a brief battle with cancer, and the tributes have not stopped rolling in since. The latest to add her voice: Brittany Mahomes . The Chiefs WAG shared a Country Now graphic to her Instagram Story, no caption of her own needed, just letting the words speak: “Country music and the entire world will never be the same without Dolly. So the only way forward is to be more like Dolly. Be kind to your neighbor. Do good in the world. Help others. Spread a little more love. Be like Dolly.”
This is a woman who’s co-built a stadium for a women’s soccer team and has been vocal about using her own following “for good,” so a heartfelt, unfussy Dolly tribute tracks completely with her brand. It’s simple, it’s sincere, and it fits exactly who Brittany’s positioned herself as over the last few years not just an NFL wife, but someone who uses her platform the way she believes Dolly did, quietly, generously, without needing the spotlight to prove it.
