Dolly Parton’s final farewell is shedding new light on the country music icon’s private side. Her cousin and longtime collaborator Richie Owens has revealed why only a small number of family members attended her burial, saying Dolly had made it clear she wanted the moment kept “very, very private.” Owens also shared that Dolly preferred donations to her Imagination Library over funeral flowers. He further recalled the last time he saw her alive, during a personal exchange involving guitars connected to her childhood and musical legacy.
