The US's only secular saint. Her memorial service will need to be held in a football stadium to handle the number of people who want to pay their last respects.

At least, since Fred Rogers died.

		To be fair Fred Rogers was a minister, but I would agree that his message to kids was mostly secular.

		Fred was a very respected man, but Dolly is also loved. The grief for many is real and most never even met her.

		I feel like conservatives must have a problem with Fred. MAGA would have definitely cancelled his funding.

No I'm guessing that she arranged for a small personal ceremony only - insisting on that would be in line with her character.

Dollywood can hold more people than a football stadium. Probably will.

Its a nice theme park. She bought it because she thought it would be cool to have a really awesome theme park in TN. She was both correct and successful. It's pretty cool.

Way bigger. Dolly was beloved by millions, if not billions of people worldwide.

You'd need an area the size of Tennessee itself for the memorial service.
