After Dolly's death in August, millions of fans began grieving her loss. This includes thousands of people in her hometown of Sevierville. They began flocking to a statue of her near the local courthouse and paid tribute by leaving flowers. Thousands of flowers. When a local charity named Random Acts of Flowers found out, they approached Dolly's estate and asked if they could collect the flowers after they'd been left behind. Why? Because they wanted to collect and re-arrange them, then send them to patients. Their mission is to improve the mental and emotional health of patients in health care facilities. They do it by recycling flowers through donations to deliver flowers to people in need. So that's what they did. They collected the flowers left behind, and redistributed them to local hospitals. So even in her death, Dolly kept on helping others.
