She passed on to her next great adventure today at 80 years young.

Talk about an Icon. She was always smiling. I remember her from her Porter Wagoner days……as do you.

Porter Wagoner’s show was must see tv. He came to XIT Rodeo more than once. Brought the Mandrell sisters along. The only female/s my dad thought was hotter than Barbara Mandrell was the Rockettes. (Ann Margaret was close.) 😅

Dolly came to XIT in 1980. Went back just to see her.

Barbara Mandrell was very talented. She could sing, dance, and she played 5 instruments as I recall.

Dolly had a great personality. I believe I read where she wrote “I will always love you” to Porter when she left his show. Dolly had a hit with that song and Whitney Houston made it almost a national anthem.

I’m late but I saw this on social media when she passed and thought it was perfect:

”Imagine spending 80 years on the planet, writing over 3000 songs, winning 11 Grammy Awards, 10 CMAs, 1 Emmy, countless nominations, having 55 top 10 hits…and at the end of your life, no one talks about that.  Instead they talk about the kind of person you were, how you loved others well, how you stayed true to yourself, how you were generous and would champion others, and how you inspired others to do the same.  If that’s not the goal, I don’t know what is.”
