Baseball fans are in mourning this week after the death of Julia Ruth Stevens, the last surviving child of the legendary Babe Ruth. She passed away at a nursing home in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this month at the age of 102.

Stevens’ family took to social media to reveal her passing without stating her cause of death.

“It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Julia Ruth Stevens who passed away early in the morning of March 9th after a short illness,” they said. “Julia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who lived a wonderful, full life during the 102 years she was with us.”

Ruth adopted Stevens after he married her mother Claire back in 1929. Stevens’ family explained that Claire had moved to New York City from Athens, Georgia to work as a model, and she was introduced to Ruth there though a mutual friend. They immediately hit it off, and the family added, “and the rest, as they say, is history.”

Stevens called Ruth “daddy” even in the final years of her life, and she enjoyed telling stories about growing up with him in their home on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Stevens married three times, with her spending the last 49 years married to Brent Stevens, a poultry farmer, which earned her the nickname in their New Hampshire community as “the egg lady.”

In her old age, Stevens became a Babe Ruth ambassador, traveling the nation preserving her father’s legacy. Stevens leaves behind one son, two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
