Devastated Dolly Parton is facing her final days as a lonely widow after helplessly watching Alzheimer’s disease ravage her beloved husband, Carl Dean, and steal his life on March 3, sources say — and now friends fear that the country queen’s overwhelming grief may hasten her own death!
Tipsters reveal to GLOBE that Dolly’s reclusive man was diagnosed with the memory-robbing condition in 2019 — the last year he was seen in public — and the 82-year-old sadly passed away less than three months before the devoted couple’s 59th wedding anniversary.
Dolly announced in 2023 that she was retiring from touring to spend more time with Carl at their Brentwood, Tenn., estate — but a spy shares that her final days with her soul mate were a picture of heartbreak.
“They had in-house nursing helping tend to Carl, but Dolly was determined to be his main caregiver,” the insider explains. “She was gone from home so much during their marriage that there were times when they only saw each other 30 days out of the year, so she felt she owed it to be with him at his greatest time of need.
