“He Got His Angel Wings,” says Dolly Parton’s sister Stella Parton after her older brother David passes away at age 82.

 

In contrast to his well-known sisters, David avoided the limelight throughout his lifetime. His surviving family members include his brothers, his 45-year wife, Kay Parton, two daughters, Donna and Dena, and Lucas, who the obituary refers to as a “nephew/son,” as well as grandkids and great-grandchildren.

Family and friends are invited to the funeral, which will take place at Leadvale Baptist Church in White Pine on Tuesday, November 19.
