Her other notable musical accomplishments included the theme to the 1964 thriller “Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte,” starring Bette Davis, which was nominated for an Oscar.
She kept performing well into her 70s. In 1999, she won a Grammy, her first and only one, for “Live at Carnegie Hall,” an album she recorded in 1997 celebrating 50 years in the music business. She was scheduled to receive a Life Achievement Award at this year's Grammys.
Page is survived by her son, Danny O'Curran; her daughter Kathleen Ginn; and grandchildren.

Wow. She will be missed. I grew up loving "(How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window" and sing it to my dogs to this day. 100,000,000 albums and 67 years in the biz, what a great body of music: http://www.fuhshnizzle.com/pedia/artists/Patti-Page.html
The song she sang in "Hush Hush" would give you goosebumps, her voice was eerily beautiful.
