Celebrities Bid Farewell to Gardner: Ava Gardner was buried Monday in a pink gown beneath the stately magnolias of a family graveyard in her native Smithfield, N.C. Singer Frank Sinatra, Gardner’s third and last husband, sent a wreath of pink roses and carnations with a card signed simply, “Francis.” Gardner was 67 when she died last Thursday in London of pneumonia. The Rev. Francis Bradshaw, who delivered a graveside eulogy to 60 family members and more than 2,000 fans, paid tribute to Gardner. Gardner was buried next to her brother, Jack Gardner, a former state legislator, and her parents, Jonas and Mary Elizabeth Gardner.
