With that in mind, they have started a Change.org petition to rename the Nashville International Airport after their beloved icon — because then everyone in Nashville could be "departin' with Parton!"
Parton was born in 1946 in Pittman Center, Tennessee, which is a small town on the eastern side of the state that borders the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She grew up in nearby Sevierville, graduating from Sevier County High School in 1964. According to a profile in the Washington Times, she left for Nashville the day after graduation, and the Music City has been her home ever since.
"We request that the airport’s name be changed to Dolly Parton International Airport to honor an icon who has given so much to our state and to the world. Sign the petition to make this change a reality. We could all be Departin' from Parton!"
Indeed, Parton's Imagination Library, which is part of her Dollywood Foundatoin, is "dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five," according to the website. It was inspired by Parton's father's inability to read or write. When it began in 1995, it was for children in the United States, but it has since expanded to five countries, gifting "millions of free books each month to children around the world."
