Dolly was a genuine and generous person true to her roots in eastern Tennessee. Obviously her talent and outlook on life carried her far in her 80 years. My sympathy goes out to her family and friends. She will be missed. And another person from my birth year departs this Earth too soon.

"The dulcimer sings a sweet song."
She was a truly UNIQUE woman, full of extraordinary talent, drive and love. And she played dulcimers!
A beloved musician, actor, businesswoman, and philanthropist has died. There will never be another Dolly.
This link shows a photo of Dolly with her decorated mountain dulcimer (the body was made by John Rowden of Newcomerstown OH) at an event at the Opry:
