Nancy Sinatra Sr., the Jersey City native and former wife of legendary singer Frank Sinatra, has died at the age of 101.

"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," her daughter, also named Nancy Sinatra, said in a tweet.

Sinatra Sr., born in Jersey City in 1917, was the first wife of Frank Sinatra, or "Ol' blue eyes."

Nancy and Frank started dating when they were teens and had their first date at the Loew's Jersey Theatre, where they saw Bing Crosby perform.

They were later married on Feb, 4, 1939 at Our Lady of the Sorrows in Jersey City.

The couple lived in a modest apartment in Jersey City during the marriage's earlier years. Nancy worked as a secretary, while Frank tried to get his music career started as a singing waiter.

Their two eldest children were born there as well, according to the Associated Press.

Their son, Frank Sinatra, Jr., had a long musical career of his own, while her daughter Nancy also has had a successful career, most notably recording "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" in 1966.

Nancy and Frank later divorced, but she remained friendly with her ex-husband. The New York times reported that Nancy remained Frank's "cherished friend and quiet confidante" through the years.

She not only outlived her husband, who died in 1998, but her son, Frank Jr., who died in 2016.

She is survived by her sister, her daughters, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren.
