Frank Sinatra's Wife, Barbara Dies At 90

Barbara Sinatra, the philanthropist and
widow of late American singer Frank
Sinatra, has died at the age of 90.




John Thoresen, director of the Barbara
Sinatra Children's Center, said she died of
natural causes at her home in Rancho
Mirage, California, surrounded by family
and friends.



The former model and Las Vegas showgirl
was a committed, high-profile advocate
for abused children.



In 1986, she and her
late husband, Frank set up the Barbara
Sinatra Children's Center in Rancho Mirage,
near Palm Springs.


The non-profit facility
provides therapy for children who have
been physically, sexually and emotionally
abused.



Mrs Sinatra is survived by her son, Robert
Oliver Marx, his wife Hillary, and her
granddaughter, Carina Blakeley Marx.
