With a heavy heart, we are very sad to hear this news. We loved Jerry, and are thankful for all he did for our community. Many of our fur children came from Siouxland Humane Society. Sending love and prayers to all who knew him.

30 Years. One Incredible Legacy.

It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the passing of our devoted former Shelter Director, Jerry Dominicak.

For 30 years, Jerry dedicated himself to the Siouxland Humane Society. Three decades of caring deeply about this organization, the animals who came through our doors, the community we serve and the people who worked alongside him.

It is almost impossible to put the impact of 30 years into words.

Jerry helped shape the Siouxland Humane Society into what it is today. He led us through challenges and changes, celebrated the victories, built lasting relationships throughout our community and remained a steady presence through it all.

But Jerry’s impact goes far beyond the walls of the shelter.

It lives in the thousands upon thousands of animals who were given another chance. In the families who found a new best friend. In the staff members and volunteers who worked beside him. In the relationships he built throughout the community. And in an organization that will continue carrying out a mission he dedicated so much of his life to.

For those of us who knew and worked with Jerry, his absence will be felt in ways that are difficult to describe. Thirty years creates a lot of memories, a lot of stories and a lot of moments that became part of who we are.

The work will continue. Animals will continue to come through our doors, families will continue to find their new best friends and lives will continue to change.

And a piece of Jerry will always be part of every bit of it.

Thirty years is an incredible gift to give to one mission.

Jerry, thank you for giving that gift to us. Thank you for everything you gave to the Siouxland Humane Society, to the animals and to this community.

Your impact is immeasurable, and your legacy will always be a part of the Siouxland Humane Society.

You will be deeply missed!

We are all feeling this. She was someone we can all look at and say, yes, thank you.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
