Her little sister Stella Parton tells CBS presenter Gayle King that not even everyone in the family knew, writes NME.

Some of us knew, the closest ones, says Stella Parton.

- She doesn't want people to be sad. She would have been so happy that people have shown so much love because she knew it would make us, her family, feel better.

The sister also says that Dolly Parton's funeral was a small, private ceremony, as the country star had wished.

Dolly Parton died on August 25 this year.
