Dolly Parton <\/strong><\/a>wasn’t keeping 9-to-5 hours on her deathbed … instead, she was closing up and refusing to allow most friends and family to see her — except for one essential worker.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Dolly’s dying wish was that no one could see her on her deathbed because she didn’t want anyone to remember her in her fragile, dying state.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

However … we’re told there was one exception to the rule — her longtime wig and makeup artist, Cheryl Riddle<\/strong> — because Dolly wanted to be all dolled up after she passed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Our sources say Dolly figured Cheryl would see her anyway when she passed because she’d eventually have to do the hair and makeup regardless — so she was fine with her being by her side.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Looks like Cheryl knocked it out of the park, too … because we’re told Dolly had an open-casket service — and she looked fantastic.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Another person who saw her shortly before she died … her nephew — and recently removed<\/strong><\/a> security head — <\/strong>Bryan Seaver<\/strong><\/a>, who saw her the day before she passed. Others who tried to get in, like her siblings, were denied entry.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
