Julia Ruth Stevens, the last surviving child of Babe Ruth, died early Saturday morning at an assisted-living facility in Henderson, Nev., of complications after a pulmonary embolism, said her son, Tom Stevens. She was 102.

Stevens wrote “A Daughter’s Portrait” and other books about her father, and appeared at countless events on his behalf at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and elsewhere around the country. She was always proud to represent Ruth, Tom Stevens said.

“With the passing of Julia, it’s kind of the end of the line for Babe Ruth, of people who knew him firsthand,” said Mike Gibbons, director emeritus of the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum in Baltimore.

The elder of Ruth’s two adopted daughters, Stevens was born July 17, 1916, in Athens, Ga.
