Dolly Parton has been laid to rest after a private funeral, her family has confirmed.
Her death was announced by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, in an Instagram video posted August 25. The musician's publicist confirmed Parton's cancer diagnosis to the ******* ociated Press later in the day, but did not give further details on her illness.
Dolly's niece, Lainey Parton, shared a touching tribute to her aunt August 29, confirming the Queen of Country had been laid to rest the day prior.
"I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words," Lainey wrote of her "Aunt Granny."
"From the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough. She never made my dreams feel too big or made me feel like I couldn't do something. She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself.
