It’s nearly been a month since Dolly Parton, one of the most famous musicians of her generation, passed away at age 80. Often celebrated as the “Queen of Country Music,” having won 11 Grammy Awards, Parton was also a prolific philanthropist whose Imagination Library has gifted over 300 million free books to children around the world, according to Billboard.
As a nod to “9 to 5,” one of Parton’s most popular songs, there will be several Dolly Parton-themed events you can attend in her honor this weekend on Friday, Sept. 25 (9/25).
