“We will always love you, Dolly,” Gov. Maura Healey wrote.

Massachusetts is honoring beloved entertainer Dolly Parton by illuminating five bridges in pink.

Boston’s Zakim and Longfellow Bridges, the Kenneth Burns Memorial Bridge in Worcester, the Fore River Bridge linking Quincy and Weymouth, and the Charles Braga Memorial Bridge spanning the Taunton River are all bathed in pink light, Gov. Maura Healey announced on social media.

Parton, the iconic singer, songwriter, and actress, died Tuesday at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. She leaves behind a remarkable musical and cultural legacy, having composed more than 3,000 songs, launched emergency relief initiatives, and spent decades advocating for working women and social causes.

“We will always love you, Dolly,” Healey wrote.
