The 79-year-old singer, actress and dancer shared a series of family photos on Instagram, with a special tribute to her husband.
"To my darling Bert, Happy Birthday hope you're having a great time you have so many wonderful friends up there with you," Patti wrote alongside a photo of herself, her late husband and their grandchildren.
"We all miss you every single day. Love you Mack xxx," she concluded, with a reference to the nickname he used to call her.
She then shared a photo of her and Bert holding each other's arms with the message: "Goodnight my darling, sweet dreams xx".
Fans took to the comments to share their birthday wishes to Bert and send their well-wishes to Patti.
"Gorgeous photo Patti. Happy Heavenly Birthday to your darling Bert and the legend he always will be," wrote one fan.
"Happy Birthday in the Sky to dear Bert- gosh he was FABULOUS!" added another.
"Happy Heavenly Birthday to you Bert ❤️ lots of love to you Patti" wrote a third.
Bert and Patti were married for 47 years until his death in 2021.
They welcomed their son Matt Newton in 1977, three years after they got married and daughter Lauren Newton in 1979.
They also have six grandchildren, Sam, Eva, Lola, Monty, Perla and Alby.
Bert passed away in October 2021, aged 83 after a long battle with numerous illnesses and a few months after he had a leg amputation.
Eighteen months after his death, Patti told 9honey: "I'll never get over him not being here. I've got photographs everywhere and I have a chat with him most nights."
"We had a wonderful relationship. We had ups and downs like everybody has, but we did have a fabulous marriage," she said.
"We came together and we always had a laugh and I think that's probably what I miss the most."
