# Country music icon Dolly Parton’s husband, Carl Dean, has passed away in Nashville, Tennessee, at the age of 82. The couple met outside a laundromat the day Parton moved to Nashville at 18. They were married in a small ceremony in Ringhold, Georgia, two years later, in 1966. Dean, who was a businessman, having owned an asphalt-paving business, was rarely seen in public with the singer. In a statement, Parton says words can’t do justice to the love they shared for over 60 years.
