When Dolly Parton died, Tennessee did not mourn a celebrity who had once called the state home — it mourned a neighbor who had never truly left. For seven decades, she wove her success back into the communities that shaped her, offering a quiet but powerful argument that ambition and belonging need not be opposites. Her passing closes a chapter in American life that asked, gently and persistently, what we owe to the places that made us.
