Governor Joe Lombardo orders flags to half-staff in honor of Dolly Parton

Governor Joe Lombardo ordered the flags of the United States and the State of Nevada to be lowered to half-staff in accordance with President Donald Trump’s proclamation honoring the memory of Dolly Parton. Lombardo remembered Parton as an American icon whose music, philanthropy, and generosity touched millions of people. He and First Lady Donna Lombardo extended their condolences to Parton’s family, friends, and admirers while recognizing her life and legacy. The order remains in effect until sunset on September 1, 2026. Because no flag should fly higher than the United States flag, the announcement states that all other flags—including state, municipal, corporate, and other flags—should also be lowered during the same period.
