Dolly Parton mourned by 9 To 5 co-workers Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin

The legendary country singer Dolly Parton’s passing has left a profound sense of sorrow among her fellow 9 To 5 co-stars, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Tomlin, in her initial social media post, expressed her deepest sorrow with the simple yet powerful words, "No words." She later penned a heartfelt tribute, describing Parton as "Friend. Songwriter. The Great Harmonizer of Humanity. Dolly. Dolly. Dolly. Forever Dolly."

Fonda, too, could not hold back her grief, posting a picture of herself and Parton enjoying a drink on the set of their iconic film. She mourned the loss, stating that Dolly will forever remain present in their lives through her music, her philanthropy, and the countless memories they shared. Fonda praised Parton's ability to connect deeply with people, her unwavering loyalty, and her vision as a songwriter and activist.

Parton, Fonda emphasized, was more than just a performer; she was an activist who championed the LGBTQ+ community. She encouraged Parton's fans, particularly her gay and trans supporters, to celebrate her spirit and carry her memory forward, rather than succumbing to sadness. Fonda invited them to dress up and enjoy the final episode of Grace and Frankie, where Parton played an angel in Heaven, a fitting tribute to her enduring legacy.
