Known as “Lady Blue Eyes,” Barbara Sinatra, the wife of late-singer Frank Sinatra, died Tuesday morning at her Rancho Mirage, California, home, a family spokesman reported. She was 90.

She was married to the famed singer for nearly 22 years. Earlier, she was the wife of Zeppo Marx.

Sinatra died Tuesday of natural causes according to John Thoresen, the director of the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center. “She died comfortably surrounded by family and friends at her home,” he said in a statement.

Born Barbara Blakeley, the Bosworth, Missouri, native began her modeling career at 18 after her family moved to Long Beach, California, Fox News reports.

Shortly after her move, she married Robert Oliver, but they divorced, and she then married Zeppo Marx in 1959.

After divorcing Marx in 1973, she married Frank three years later. In Lady Blue Eyes, she wrote: “The year I married Frank Sinatra was a very good year. It was 1976, but it had taken us five years of flirting and courting to finally say ‘I do.’ It probably took another year before I grew accustomed to the idea that I now carried his iconic name. At first, I’d almost whisper when booking a restaurant reservation or beauty parlor appointment. Even to say ‘Mrs. Sinatra’ out loud felt like bragging.”

Barbara and Frank Sinatra wed in 1976 in a private ceremony at the Annenberg Estate in Rancho Mirage. She and the “Come Fly With Me” singer remained married until Frank Sinatra’s death in 1998.

Barbara Sinatra became famous in her own right for her work battling child abuse. She founded the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center to help children who were victims of abuse.

She is survived by her son from a previous marriage Robert Oliver Marx, his wife Hillary Roberts and her granddaughter Carina Blakeley Marx.

Wow.

Well beautiful woman, rest in peace and thank you for all the wonderful things you have done.

God Bless.
