It's safe to say that everyone agrees that Dolly Parton is an angel.

People have even started a petition to get her immortalized in a statue erected in her native Tennessee. She's like everyone's fairy godmother and we love her.

But one of the things you might not know about her is that she had some really humble beginnings and probably learned that uncanny ability to share because she had eleven siblings.

She might have become a country icon and generous humanitarian but all of the Parton's turned out successful. Here's what they're all doing today.

The Family Was Very Poor But Found Joy In Singing Together

The Parton family was not wealthy by any means. Dolly and her siblings were all born in a one-bedroom cabin near the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. She is the fourth of 12 children (one son, Larry, died shortly after birth).

In order of birth, there is Willadeene, David Wilburn, Coy Denver, Dolly Rebecca, Bobby Lee, Stella Mae, Cassie Nan, Randel Huston “Randy,” Larry Gerald, Estel Floyd, and twins Freida Estelle and Rachel Ann.

Their mother, Avie, was often ill because of all her pregnancies which made her a mother of 12 by the time she was 35. While their father, Robert, worked in the mountains Avie was able to keep their big family entertained by telling folklore stories and singing to them.

Avie's father was a Pentecostal preacher, so the Parton's were raised singing at church every Sunday. Music was essential to the family. "Singing was like breathing at home," Rachel, one of the twins, told People.

Parton credits her mother as her musical mentor while her father taught her to be a great businesswoman.

The Family Is Very Gifted

Seven of the Parton children broke out into showbiz, and throughout their decades-long careers have constantly collaborated with each other.

The only other sibling of Parton's to have passed away was her brother Floyd, who died in 2018. He often wrote and performed songs with her, including songs like "Rockin' Years", which made No. 1 on the Country Music Charts in 1991, "Nickels and Dimes", and "Waltz Me to Heaven."

In 1967, Parton released her first single while their mother took her sisters Stella, Willadeene, and Cassie to Nashville to record a gospel album called In the Garden.

After Willadeene made In the Garden with her sisters in 1967, her career in showbiz fizzled out, but she went on to be a successful author. Her first book was In the Shadow of a Song: The Parton Family, in 1985.

In 1996, she penned a family memoir, Smoky Mountain Memories: Stories from the Hearts of the Parton Family, and a cookbook, All-Day Singing & Dinner on the Ground, the year after.

Stella went on to be a Billboard-charting country singer with hits like "I Want to Hold You in My Dreams Tonight," and had appearances in a couple of TV shows throughout the '70s. She also appeared in Parton's 2015 television movie Coat of Many Colors.

In 2013, Cassie performed at her sister's Dollywood show, "My People," with their brother Randy.

At one point, Randy had a band called Moonlight Bandits and also sang back-up on the soundtrack of Parton's movie, Rhinestone. Together with his sister Rachel, he performed in Dollywood's a capella group, Honey Creek.

Rachel went on to star in ABC's sitcom 9 to 5, which was based on the movie of the same name that Parton herself starred in. Rachel played her sister's role in the film from 1982 to 1988, but that is her only acting credit.

The producers of the show said that when she first stepped onto the set everyone wanted to know who she was. Rachel joined Parton with their sister Stella at the Red Tent Women's Conference in Tennessee in 2014, which was an event to spread awareness about domestic violence.

Frieda was also a singer like her sisters but has retired. She performed in a punk rock band in the '80s and sang back-up on a couple of Parton's albums. Now she's an ordained minister and had her own wedding chapel in Sevierville.

While most of the Parton children went on to have great careers in showbiz, three of their brothers wanted nothing to do with it. David, Coy, and Robert Jr. went on to have extremely private lives, so there's not much to tell about them.

Parton might have grown up in a huge family but that doesn't mean she wanted one for herself. She's been married to her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, for over 50 years and the pair decided not to have kids. But it's okay. They are affectionately referred to as Aunt Granny and Uncle PeePaw by their tons of nieces and nephews and their kids.

Not gonna lie, we wish we were related to Parton too.
