Say hello to Alice Hudson Pell — proud member of the Junior League of Nashville and one of this year’s Nfocus “Model Behavior” honorees!

As Executive Director of TennGreen Land Conservancy, Alice has spent over a decade protecting Tennessee’s wild places — from launching the wildly popular Hike-a-Thon (1,398 hikers, $300K+ raised, 17,836 miles logged across 41 states and 13 countries in its sixth year!) to serving on the Metro Parks, Nashville Parks Foundation, and Cumberland Trail Conservancy boards.

“We are a part of our ecosystem, and it is part of us. So much healing happens outside.” 🌳

We are so proud of you. Congratulations, Alice! 👏

The Junior League of Nashville joins the world in remembering Dolly Parton, a beloved Tennessean whose extraordinary legacy extends far beyond music and entertainment.

Dolly believed deeply in the power of books to open doors, inspire dreams, and create opportunities for children. Through her Imagination Library, she turned that belief into action, helping generations of children develop a love of reading by putting books directly into their hands.

It has been an honor to connect with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library through our work with Begin Bright, Nashville Public Library’s early literacy initiative. Through this program, Little Libraries stocked with Imagination Library books are bringing the joy of reading to children in childcare centers across Davidson County.

We will continue to be inspired by Dolly’s vision for a world where every child has the opportunity to discover the joy of reading. Her impact will be felt in Nashville, across Tennessee, and far beyond for generations to come.

The Junior League of Nashville extends our deepest condolences to Dolly’s family, friends, and all those mourning this tremendous loss.

Today, we pay tribute to Martha Rivers Ingram and the extraordinary impact she made on Nashville.

Martha was a valued member and generous supporter of the Junior League of Nashville. Her significant contributions to the League strengthened our organization and furthered our volunteer work throughout our community.

Martha carried that spirit of leadership far beyond the League. An early and passionate champion of Nashville as a regional cultural center, her vision, philanthropy and service helped strengthen many of the institutions that define our city’s cultural life today.

In 1999, Martha received the Association of Junior Leagues International’s Mary Harriman Community Leadership Award, one of the international organization’s highest honors. She is one of only two Nashville women to have received this distinguished recognition.

Reflecting on the League, Martha once said, “I never expected to find myself serving as Chairman and CEO of a major American corporation. You may never expect to run a business, to be head of a household, or to lead a nonprofit board. Yet, effective Junior League training can prepare you for these experiences and many others.”

Martha’s niece, Patti Hart Smallwood, served as the President of the League from 2004 to 2005 and shared this reflection: “I was so lucky to be Martha Ingram’s niece and have her complete support my entire life, volunteer work and beyond. Her kindness and generosity to our community were legendary, and that kindness extended to her children, nieces, nephews, and friends. Losing Aunt Martha is a great loss for us all, but how fortunate we should feel to have had her in our lives.”

The League’s mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration and training. Martha exemplified that spirit throughout her life—not only through her extraordinary leadership and generosity, but through the countless people and organizations she directly impacted. She inspired generations of women across our community, and her legacy will continue to be felt for generations to come.

We extend our deepest condolences to Martha’s loved ones, both family members and cherished friends, as they celebrate the life of a remarkable woman whose legacy is woven into the cultural fabric of Nashville.
