Born in Sevierville, Tennessee, Parton is the sixth of twelve children born to father, Robert Lee Parton Sr. and mother, Avie Lee Caroline Owens. Her siblings are Willadeene Parton (a poet, b. 1940), David Parton (b. 1942), Denver Parton (b. 1943), Dolly Rebecca Parton (singer-songwriter and actress, b. 1946), Robert Lee "Bobby" Parton Jr. (b. 1948), Cassie Parton (singer, b. 1951), Randel Huston "Randy" Parton (a singer and businessman, b. 1953), Larry G. Parton (b. 1955, d. 1955), twins Floyd Parton (a singer-songwriter, b. 1957), Freida Parton (a singer, b. 1957), and Rachel (nee Parton) Dennison (an actress, b. 1959)[1]. Her sister Dolly Parton has stated in interviews that to her knowledge her father had strayed at least once or twice and fathered three other illegitimate children. She is distant cousins with adult film actress Julia Parton.
At seven, she and sister Dolly appeared on a local Knoxville, Tennessee television program and two years later, she made her debut on radio. During this time, Stella and her two other sisters, Willadeene and Cassie, formed a group that sang Gospel and commercial jingles around the eastern Tennessee area. During her high school years, Parton began writing songs. She subsequently married Marvin Carroll Rauhuff just prior to her high school graduation in 1966 and the union produced a son, Timothy C. Rauhoff born on November 25, 1968.[2]
