Dolly Parton's Final Wish: Only One Visitor Allowed
23 Sep
Summary
- Dolly Parton did not want to be seen by family on her deathbed.
- Her makeup artist was the only exception for her final appearance.
- She underwent experimental cancer treatment in Germany.
Country music icon Dolly Parton recently passed away after a private battle with various health issues. In her final days, she expressed a strong desire to not be seen by friends and family in her weakened state, wishing to be remembered in her prime.
However, one individual was granted access: her trusted wig and makeup artist, Cheryl Riddle. Parton anticipated Riddle would eventually prepare her for her service, making her presence acceptable.
This decision ensured Parton appeared flawless for her open-casket service. She had recently returned from Germany, where she underwent an experimental cancer treatment program.
Prior to her passing, Parton also designated her nephew, Bryan Seaver, as the one to announce her death to the public, a task he prepared for on her final day.
