Patti Palmer, a singer known for being Jerry Lewis' first wife, has died at the age of 99.

Palmer and Lewis' son, Gary Lewis, confirmed to Fox News that Palmer died on Jan. 15, 2021, in Las Vegas.

"All my life she was a beautiful spirit to me," he said.

According to Gary, Palmer met Lewis while she was working as a singer with Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra.

"She was always singing songs around the house and playing the piano and I know that is where I got my love of music from," said Gary.

"She lived 99 years and had a full life and is now in heaven singing with the angels," he concluded, noting that she received aid from a memory care unit in a Las Vegas nursing home until her passing.
