She famously donated $1 million to Vanderblit University’s Medical Centre to help develop a vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic.
She also founded the Imagination Library, a scheme that sends kids one book a month from birth until they begin school.
Speaking previously, Dolly said: “My dad, even though he could not read nor write, he was one of the smartest people I have ever known.

“He had twelve kids so he had to figure out how to feed them. He knew how to get out and make a buck. He felt crippled by the fact that he couldn’t read and write.
“It used to break my heart that he felt ashamed that he couldn’t read or write. I told Daddy, ‘You’d be shocked to know how many millions of people in this world can’t read or write’.
“I tried to make him feel as good about that as I could.”
