Such a lovely woman

Very sorry. Rest in Peace.
And she gave back to the community. She grew up in a part of the usa where kids couldn't get books easily. So if your parents gave their address every single month until you turn 5- a new FREE book from Dolly would arrive in the mail. I didn't know her as Dolly Parton singer- I just knew her as "The Book Lady."
Last thing she did was open up a truck stop for truck driver where they can take shower and sleep safely (so they don't fall asleep on roads).
