“Dolly had the brightest personality she could light up any room with her laughter, her kindness, and her loving spirit. She had a way of making everyone feel special, and her warmth will stay with us forever. While our hearts are broken here, I find comfort in knowing she is now reunited with our dad in heaven. I can only imagine the joy of that reunion. 🕊️,” she went on.
“Rest peacefully, Dolly. You will always be loved, always be missed, and never forgotten. ❤️ In this time of grieving please reach out to me or my wife instead of Staci as she needs peace and privacy.”
Dolly appeared on the show weighing in at nearly 600 pounds.
“25-year-old Dolly relies on food to distract her from ‘darker thoughts,’ especially during her turbulent childhood. But with her food addiction vastly affecting her health, she visits Dr Now for an appointment,” reads the description for her debut on the show, in which she discussed her food addiction and mental health issues.
She lost about 40 pounds on the show, but was ultimately not approved for the weight loss procedure while on the series.
Our thoughts are with Dolly‘s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. RIP. We have sadly lost many stars in 2026.
