#Barbara Rickles, Don Rickles’ Widow, Dies on Their 56th Wedding Anniversary
“#Barbara Rickles, Don Rickles’ Widow, Dies on Their 56th Wedding Anniversary”
In the 1960ss, Don Rickles met Barbara through his agent and the pair hit it off instantly. She served as a partner of sorts for his career and has often appeared alongside him as herself in documentaries and other TV specials. The couple was inseparable all the way up until Don’s death. Although he was known for his scathing insult comedy, Don also had nothing but the best things to say about his wife, at one point telling Al Roker that he was completely devoted to her and she was his life.
“She’s everything,” Don said, describing Barbara as “somebody that cares genuinely about you, through good and bad.”
Don would celebrate his wife on social media as well. Before he died just a few weeks later, he posted on Twitter to acknowledge his final anniversary spent with Barbara. “We are celebrating our 52nd Wedding Anniversary March 14th,” Rickles wrote. “Happy Anniversary my dear wife, Barbara. You are my life. Pussycat (Me).”

Barbara took over Don’s Twitter account to help keep his memory alive following his passing. Two years ago, Barbara had tweeted an image of herself with Don from their many years prior, remembering happy times, in honor of what would have been their 54th anniversary. In the tweet, Barbara writes: “The way we were! Today, March 14th, would have been my Don and my 54th Wedding Anniversary. I am thankful we were able to celebrate 52 wonderful and loving years together. Rest In Peace my Pussy Cat.”

Another emotional post from October revealed that the couple’s pet dog had also died. Including several photos of the pet, the tweet reads, “Our sweet, gentle, loving Chauncey passed away. As you can well imagine he was so much a part of our family. We miss him so. The tears continue… he is resting in peace at the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park Cemetery.”
