\n\tIn the time since the news was announced in a video message by her nephew Bryan Seaver \u2014 who served as her head of security for more than 20 years \u2014 countless artists have attempted to put the incomprehensible into words with posts on social media expressing grief and disbelief over her passing, as well as awe for the country icon\u2019s singular legacy.<\/p>\n

\n\tReba McEntire shared a carousel of photos of herself and her friend over the years on Instagram, writing, \u201cThere will never ever be another you \u2026 She\u2019s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI will certainly miss her laughter, jokes and her being,\u201d Dionne Warwick wrote on Instagram, sharing a sweet photo of herself and Parton holding hands. \u201cRest well and in total peace my friend. My heart is heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJack White simply posted an old photo of Parton on Instagram and wrote, \u201cInstant Sainthood,\u201d while Waylon Jennings shared a throwback snap of himself with the late star captioned, \u201cWe will always love you Dolly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe death of Dolly Parton is as big as Elvis,\u201d stated Don McLean on Instagram. \u201cThis rocks the country and the world in the same way and we won\u2019t get over this for a long time. God bless this beautiful girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tParton\u2019s death comes nearly a year and a half after her husband of about 60 years, Carl Dean, died at the age of 82. The last month of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer\u2019s life was also marked by loss, with her brother Denver dying at the age of 82 in August.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDolly. This really really hurts,\u201d Kacey Musgraves wrote on X, adding in other posts, \u201cThe world feels a lot less sparkly all of a sudden \u2026 So glad she\u2019s with her Carl Dean. No one talk to me today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimberly Perry of The Band Perry shared an emotional story of Parton giving her a pep talk during a tough moment on Instagram and added: \u201cShe is my hero. My queen. There will never be another her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Daniels family is devastated to hear of the passing of a genuine American institution, @dollyparton,\u201d reads a post on Charlie Daniels\u2019 profile. \u201cHer impact on music \u2013 not just country \u2013 entertainment and pop culture in general is unparalleled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMaggie Rogers shared a video of herself mournfully covering Parton\u2019s 1977 hit \u201cHere You Come Again\u201d and wrote on Instagram, \u201cone of the greatest songwriters of all time \u2026 thank you thank you a million times dolly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHer \u201cThere Was Jesus\u201d collaborator, Zach Williams, shared a handful of photos of himself and Parton alongside a heartfelt message on his page. \u201cYour songs, your faith, and the way you loved people impacted me more than you probably ever will know,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThank you for the road you paved, the music you gave us, and the example you set for artists like me. Country music, and my own journey wouldn\u2019t be the same without you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the video posted to Parton\u2019s social media accounts announcing her passing, Seaver told the 10-time Grammy winner\u2019s fanbase, \u201cSadness lies with us, not with Dolly.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents and countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens,\u201d he continued in the clip. \u201cBy her example, we believed that anything was possible. She never saw a door she couldn\u2019t open, and the doors that she opened made and changed history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond her numerous Billboard <\/em>chart hits \u2014 including Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s \u201c9 to 5\u201d and \u201cIslands In The Stream\u201d with Kenny Rogers \u2014 Parton will be remembered for her generosity, particularly in regards to her Imagination Library, where her family is seeking donations in lieu of flowers following her passing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
