Carl Dean, Dolly Partons Husband of Nearly 60 Years Who Inspired Jolene, Dies at 82
He was famously reclusive, but as Dolly revealed to 60 Minutes over the years, their enduring love was a true show business fairytale. 60 Minutes Australia 4 MAR 2025 ![]() Carl Dean, Dolly Partons devoted husband of nearly 60 years who avoided the spotlight and inspired her timeless hit Jolene, died Monday. He was 82. According to a statement, Dean died in Nashville, Tennessee. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words cant do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy, Parton wrote in a statement. The family has asked for respect and privacy. No cause of death was announced. Parton met Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat the day she moved to Nashville at 18. I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me), Parton described the meeting. He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about. They married two years later, on Memorial Day May 30, 1966 in a small ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia. ![]() Dean was a businessman, having owned an asphalt-paving business in Nashville. His parents, Virginia Bates Dean and Edgar Henry Dean, had three children. Parton referred to his mother as Mama Dean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyltdoCS40Q |
