Obituary for Nancy Barbato Sinatra Sr. PLEASE JOIN US IN THE TRIBUTE SECTION OF MARTIN OAKS CEMETERY AND CREMATORY WEBSITE WHERE WE REMEMEBER FINE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MADE SOME LASTING CONTRIBUTION TO OUR SOCIETY. NOT ALL OF THE OBITUARIES WE PRINT HERE ARE NOTABLES OR CELEBRITIES: THEY ARE PEOPLE WE FEEL DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR THE LIVES THEY LIVED. THE ORIGIN OF OBITUARIES CAN BE TRACED BACK TO ROMAN TIMES WHERE A “DAILY ACTS” (ACTA DIURNA) NEWSLETTER WAS PUT OUT ON PAPYRUS.
IT INCLUDED ANNOUNCMENTS OF PASSINGS. THE LATIN WORD FOR OBITUARY IS OBITUS, WHICH MEANT GOING TO A PLACE, LIKE A SETTING SUN – IT WAS IMPORTANT IN THE ROMAN CULTURE TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE FINAL DISPOSITIONS, INCLUDING DEATH ANNOUNCMENTS. WILLIAM GLADSTONE, FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND A DISTINGUISHED OBSERVER OF THE HUMAN CONDITION, SAID THAT HE COULD TELL THE CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE OF A COMMUNITY BY THE WAY IT REMEMBERED ITS DEAD.
OTHERS HAVE POINTED OUT THAT IT’S ALMOST A PART OF THE HUMAN DNA TO WANT TO BE CHERISHED BY THOSE WHO GO AFTER US – A PHILOSOPHER COMPARED THIS TO “CARVING YOUR INTITIALS ON THE TREE OF LIFE”. WE ALL WISH TO LEAVE A MARK, NOT TO JUST DISAPPEAR, FOREVER FORGOTTEN. ALTHOUGH OBITUARY WRITING HAS EVOLVED THROUGH THE AGES, THE PURPOSE OF THOSE ROMAN NOTICES HAVE REMAINED IN EFFECT: TO CALL ATTENTION TO AN IMPORTANT LIFE CYCLE EVENT.
TODAY’S OBITUARIES TELL A LIFE STORY, ALBEIT IN VERY SHORT FORM. A SENSE OF THE PERSON WHO IS PASSED, AN ACCOUNT OF THE MEMOIRES THEY CREATED FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND IS THE CONERSTONE OF ANY WELL WRITTEN OBITUARY.

“SO WE BEAT ON, BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT, BOURNE BACK CEASELESSLY INTO THE PAST,” F. SCOTT FITZGERALD. LOS ANGELES — Nancy Sinatra Sr., the childhood sweetheart of Frank Sinatra who became the first of his four wives and the mother of his three children, has died. She was 101.
Her daughter, Nancy Sinatra Jr., tweeted that her mother died Friday and a posting on her web page said she died at 6:02 p.m. but didn’t indicate where she died. “She was a blessing and the light of my life,” her daughter said. Attempts to reach representatives for Sinatra Jr. late Friday were unsuccessful.
Nancy and Frank Sinatra had been dating as teenagers and married at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic church in Jersey City, New Jersey, on Feb. 4, 1939, just as Frank’s singing career was about to take off. Three years before marrying the former Nancy Barbato, he had landed a 15-minute radio show on local station WAAT.
During the marriage’s early years, the Sinatras lived in a modest apartment in Jersey City, where their two eldest children were born. For a time she was employed as a secretary while her husband worked as a singing waiter. After Sinatra became a pop-music sensation in the 1940s, the couple moved to Los Angeles, where the singer would also become a movie star, raconteur, man about town and notorious womanizer.
Nancy Sinatra left Frank after his affair with actress Ava Gardner became public knowledge. Weeks after the pair’s divorce became final in 1951, Sinatra’s ex-husband married Gardner, while Sinatra went on to raise the couple’s three children: Nancy, Frank Jr. and Tina. After the gossip over the divorce and Gardner marriage died down, Nancy Sinatra devoted herself to family and numerous celebrity friends, largely withdrawing from the spotlight.
She not only outlived her husband, who died in 1998, but her son, who died in 2016. She is credited, under the name Nancy Barbato, on the Internet Movie Database with just two TV and film appearances, in her daughter Nancy’s 1975 concert film, “Nancy and Lee in Las Vegas,” and in 1974 on her friend Dinah Shore’s talk show. In later years she would become known as Nancy Sr., especially after daughter Nancy became a 1960s singing star in her own right with “These Boots Are Made For Walking” and other hit songs.
She also remained friendly with her ex-husband, the latter being said to have put in requests over the years for pasta and other Italian food dishes she was known to be an expert at preparing. She never remarried. “There is no bitterness, only great respect and affection between Sinatra and his first wife,” Gay Talese wrote in 1966, “and he has long been welcome in her home and has even been known to wander in at odd hours, stoke the fire, lie on the sofa, and fall asleep”.
