Governor Beshear praised her recent honor as a Kentucky Colonel and noted her global impact, while President Trump joined in with a national flag salute, calling her one of country music’s greatest ever. The governor urges others to join in tribute, honoring Parton not just for her songs — like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” — but for the joy, unity, and literacy she gifted to millions.
