Dolly Parton is one of 12 children, with 11 siblings including Willadeene, David, Denver, Bobby, Stella, Cassie, Randy, Larry, Floyd, Frieda and Rachel. Dolly was the fourth child born to her mother, who had given birth to all 12 children by the time she was 35. Dolly's family did not have much money when she was growing up, which meant that Christmas and other festivities had to be celebrated on a low budget. Two of her siblings, Larry and Floyd, are no longer alive. Despite not having children of her own, Dolly has a large family full of nieces, nephews and godchildren.
