@cbsnews: EXCLUSIVE: It was Dolly Parton's decision to have a private funeral just for close family and friends, her sister, Stella Parton, told CBS Mornings co-host @Gayle King. "All she wanted was the privacy and the personal privilege to be private and personal." Dolly Parton died in Nashville last month at the age of 80 after a battle with cancer. #dollyparton
Funerals aren’t entertainment. She deserves peaceful rest. 💗

Even if it was the family's choice, that'd be their choice. We respect the choice either way.

That shouldn’t have even been a question. Dolly was always a private person and the public didn’t need to be a part of that.

I'm happy her celebration of life was private. I was extremely mad when people showed up to her house.
