Dolly Parton is remembering her late husband, Carl Dean … and it sounds like their love story is not over.
The icon touched on Carl’s recent death Friday during a sneak peek of Dollywood’s upcoming 40th season.
Dolly took the stage, grabbed the mic and told the crowd … “Of course I will always love him, and I’ll miss him, but I wanted you to know that I will always love you.”
She said her husband for more than half a century would have wanted her to keep working, and that’s what she’s been doing and intends to do moving forward.
Dolly’s staying true to her word and Carl’s wishes … as we reported, she recently released a new song dedicated to the love of her life.
She was working the crowd Friday too, showing off all the new features at her park and resort.
Carl died March 3 and he’s since been laid to rest in a private ceremony with family. They met when Carl was 23 and Dolly was 18 and they fell in love … and it’s the everlasting kind.
