Following the recent loss of her husband, Carl Dean, Dolly is not only honoring his memory but also launching exciting new business ventures that reflect her resilience and creativity.

 

A Tribute to Carl Dean

 

 

On March 4, 2025, Dolly Parton shared the heartbreaking news of her husband’s passing at the age of 82 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

 

In her heartfelt Instagram tribute, she expressed the profound love they shared over their nearly 60 years of marriage.

 

Dolly stated, “Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”

 

This statement resonates deeply with fans who have followed their love story, which remained largely private despite Dolly’s fame.

 

New Business Ventures on the Horizon

 

 

Despite her grief, Dolly is channeling her energy into launching at least four new businesses, as revealed by trademark filings obtained by The U.S. Sun.

In a nod to her classic hit song “Jolene,” Dolly is launching a fashion line called “Dolly Joleans.”

 

This collection will feature a range of denim clothing, including jeans, jackets, skirts, and dresses.

 

The line aims to combine stylish designs with Dolly’s signature flair, appealing to both loyal fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.

 

Dolly is also venturing into the beauty industry with her trademarks “Dollygen” and “Dollagen.”

 

These products will focus on collagen preparations for cosmetic purposes and non-medicated skincare.

 

Given Dolly’s candid discussions about her past cosmetic surgeries, these products are likely to resonate with those seeking beauty solutions inspired by her journey.

 

Lastly, Dolly’s love for coffee will come to life with her trademarks “The Perking Lot” and “Cup of Ambition.”

 

Inspired by her iconic song “9 to 5,” these coffee-related products promise to deliver a taste of ambition and inspiration to her fans’ daily routines.
