Legendary singer-actor Frank Sinatra’s first wife Nancy Sinatra has passed away at the age of 101. The news was shared by her daughter, who shares her name, from her official Twitter account.
“My mother passed away peacefully tonight at the age of 101. She was a blessing and the light of my life. Godspeed, Momma. Thank you for everything,” she wrote.
Nancy Barbato met Sinatra, then a little-known jazz singer from Hoboken, New Jersey, in the summer of 1934. They married on 4 February, 1939 and went on to have three children together.
The Sinatras separated in September 1950. Within 10 days, Frank married actor Ava Gardner.
