Singer Sandy Posey has died aged 80 following a battle with dementia.
The musician, known for 1960s hits Single Girl and Born A Woman, passed away on Saturday morning at her Tennessee home following complications from the degenerative condition – her husband Wade Cummins confirmed to TMZ.
Cummins said Sandy had been battling dementia ‘for a while’ but had a slow decline over the past seven years. He said she had otherwise been in good health.
Cummins was by Sandy’s bedside when she died along with her daughter Amy and their niece.
Sandy’s husband said he cared for her in her final years and is heartbroken over the loss of the love of his life, who he ‘misses deeply.’
