  Nancy Sinatra Senior has passed away aged 101.  Nancy, who was the first wife of legendary singer and actor Frank Sinatra, died peacefully on Friday night, her daughter Nancy Junior said
  "My mother passed away peacefully tonight at the age of 101. She was a blessing and the light of my life. Godspeed, Momma," Nancy - famed for her song These Boots Were Made For Walkin' - tweeted
  "Thank you for everything."  Nancy later shared a link to Frank Sinatra's She's Funny That Way.    "Godspeed, Momma and thank you for everything you did for us and for the world," she added
  Nancy, who was born in 1917, was the first of Frank's four wives.   She born as Nancy Barbato on March 25, 1917 and met Frank in 1934 at the New Jersey holiday resort of Long Branch
   He was 19, she was 17 and the couple got engaged almost immediately.   Over the next few years, they rarely saw each other because of Sinatra's virtuy non-stop work-schedule
  Frank admitted, when questioned by Nancy, that he had been involved with another woman, but he insisted there would be no more and the pair got married
  However, in September, 1950, Nancy was granted a legal separation because of his mental cruelty.   The pair were married from 1939-51 and had three children - Nancy Junior, Frank Junior and actress Tina
  Ten days after their divorce was finalised, Frank - who died in 1998 - married glamorous Hollywood actress Ava Gardner
    Daughter Tina later commented on their relationship, writing in her book My Father's Daughter: A Memoir: "It would take him two years to ask Mom for a divorce, and they were two of the roughest, most insecure years of Dad's life
"  She went on: "His career was faltering, his bank account dwindling. What money he had went to Mom to care for us
 He was pursuing the highest-maintenance woman in Hollywood [Gardner], and one who freely traveled the world to boot
"  Nancy's death comes just two years after they lost brother Frank Sinatra Jr after he passed away aged 72 following a heart attack
