Carl Dean


 Today we remember **Carl Dean**, a devoted husband, businessman, and private soul who shared nearly six decades of life and love with country music legend Dolly Parton. Born to Virginia "Ginny" Bates Dean and Edgar "Ed" Henry Dean, Carl built his life quietly, running an asphalt-paving business in Nashville while keeping the spotlight firmly on his family and his beloved wife.

Carl and Dolly’s love story began when she was just 18, meeting outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville. Their romance, built on mutual respect and admiration, culminated in a private wedding on Memorial Day, May 30, 1966, in Ringgold, Georgia. Known for his humility and steadfast presence, Carl preferred a life away from public scrutiny, a choice that allowed their marriage to thrive in privacy and trust.

Carl Dean passed away at age 82 in Nashville, Tennessee. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with his immediate family.

**Rest in peace, Carl.** Your quiet strength, loyalty, and enduring love continue to shine through Dolly’s life and music.
