“When she passed, the Hollywood Historic Trust and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce made the decision to move her repair timeline up, in order to honor her life and legacy,” the Hollywood Historic Trust said. “We made that decision right after she passed and were simply waiting on our permit to begin the replacement process. The star will cure and will be polished on Friday for fans to enjoy.”

Parton died Aug. 25 at the age of 80 following a cancer diagnosis, according to her publicist.
