Niagara Falls will be illuminated in pink Thursday night in honor of the legendary global pop icon Dolly Parton, who passed away Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer.

While known as a country singer, she had massive crossover appeal that reached beyond her roots in country music. In the late 1970s and 1980s, she released songs that became hits for fans of both country and pop. Some of her songs, like “Here You Come Again,” reached the top of both the country music and pop charts.

She achieved a major Billboard success when “9 to 5” hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1981. She also starred in films such as 9 to 5 (1980) and Steel Magnolias (1989). Her global appeal was not only due to her talent but also to her colorful personality, humor, and relatability, which stemmed from her humility, for which she was widely admired.

Parton’s family announced her passing Tuesday, saying she died peacefully after a brief bout with cancer, surrounded by her loved ones. Her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, made the announcement in a prerecorded video posted on Instagram, fulfilling a request she had made years before. Seaver said that she had asked him to be the one to announce her death and that she shared with him her wish to rest in a “beautiful bed of plush cotton,” explaining that after years of wearing heavy, glamorous rhinestones, she wished to feel comfortable at the end.
