多莉·帕顿的姐姐斯特拉·帕顿表示，这位乡村音乐传奇人物曾提出，如果自己的抗癌斗争“毫无希望”，她愿意尝试实验性药物，以期帮助他人。
“世人看到的就是真实的她，就在最近，她还跟我说，如果她的病情毫无希望，她仍然会允许医疗团队尝试实验性药物，希望能在未来帮助到其他人，”斯特拉·帕顿在脸书的一篇帖子中说道。
“我的姐姐总是为他人着想。如果你想要纪念她的遗志，那就多付出善意、帮助他人，并投入更多时间和资源，就像她直到生命最后一刻都在做的那样，”斯特拉·帕顿写道。
多莉·帕顿的慈善事业广受认可。通过1988年创立的多莱坞基金会，她致力于改善家乡的教育状况，后来又将这些举措扩展到为多莱坞的员工承担高等教育费用。她还创办了“想象力图书馆”，为幼儿免费提供书籍。2020年，她向范德堡大学的新冠研究捐赠了100万美元，这笔捐款为莫德纳疫苗的研发做出了贡献。

多莉·帕顿在与癌症进行短暂抗争后于周二去世，享年80岁。她去世后，包括特朗普总统在内的政界人士，以及教女麦莉·赛勒斯在内的名人都纷纷悼念这位乡村音乐传奇人物，称赞她是永远不会被遗忘的传奇偶像。
去年10月，多莉·帕顿的姐姐弗里达·帕顿呼吁粉丝为她祈祷，引发了人们对这位歌手健康状况的担忧，不过多莉·帕顿后来表示自己身体无碍。今年5月，多莉·帕顿称自己在包括肾结石在内的健康问题治疗中反应良好，但因尚未准备好重返舞台，取消了即将到来的拉斯维加斯演出。
多莉·帕顿在田纳西州农村的贫困环境中长大，是12个孩子中的老四。斯特拉·帕顿是家中的第六个孩子，同样在音乐行业拥有自己的事业。
斯特拉·帕顿表示，她和多莉·帕顿每周都会一起喝咖啡，她补充道，“周二上午的咖啡时光再也不会和从前一样，但多莉·帕顿的爱、尊重与善良将永存。”
“如果说有人能升入天堂，我确信她准时抵达了。我知道她正在天堂里大放异彩，周身闪耀着光芒与魅力。这就是我的姐姐的行事风格，”斯特拉·帕顿写道。

Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, said the country music icon offered to try experimental drugs if there was “no hope” in her cancer battle, in an effort to help others.
“What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that if there was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future,” Stella Parton said in a Facebook post.
“My sister was always thinking of others and if you want to honor her legacy, show more kindness, lift others up and give more of your time and resources as she continued to do to the very end,” Stella Parton wrote.
Dolly Parton was widely recognized for her philanthropy. Through the Dollywood Foundation, founded in 1988, she worked to improve education in her hometown and later expanded those efforts by covering higher-education costs for Dollywood employees. She also created the Imagination Library, which provides free books to young children. In 2020, she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University’s COVID-19 research, which contributed to the development of the Moderna vaccine.

Dolly Parton died Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer. She was 80. Following her death, politicians, including President Trump, and celebrities, including her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, mourned the loss of the country music legend and praised her as an icon whose legacy will never be forgotten.
Last October, Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, raised concerns about the singer’s health by asking fans to pray for her, though Dolly Parton later said she was OK. In May, Dolly Parton said she was responding well to treatment for health issues, including kidney stones, but canceled upcoming Las Vegas performances because she wasn’t ready to return to the stage.
Dolly Parton grew up in poverty in rural Tennessee as the fourth of 12 children. Stella Parton was the sixth sibling and also had a career in the music industry.
Stella Parton said she and Dolly Parton had weekly coffee dates, adding that her “Tuesday morning coffee time will never be the same but [Dolly Parton’s] love, respect and goodness will remain.”
“If anyone gets to heaven I’m sure she made it right on time. I know she’s showing out big time, in all her sparkles and shine. That was my sister’s way,” Stella Parton wrote.
