Nancy Sinatra Sr., first wife of Frank Sinatra, dies at 101

Nancy Sinatra Sr., the first wife of Frank Sinatra, has died at the age of 101.
Her eldest daughter, 78-year-old actress and singer Nancy Sinatra, announced the news on Twitter on Friday (13Jul18).
“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 shared.
The cause of death was not given.
Nancy met Sinatra in 1934 in New Jersey, and the couple married in February, 1939.
They welcomed daughter Nancy in 1940, followed by Frank Jr., in 1944, and daughter Tina in 1948.
However, Nancy and the legendary crooner split in 1950, amid reports of Frank’s infidelity.
The My Way hitmaker went on to wed actress Ava Gardner one year later in 1951, before they split in 1953. Sinatra was later married actress Mia Farrow from 1966 to 1968, and then to Barbara Marx from 1976 until his death in May 1998.
Nancy never remarried.
