Stoughton Journal (MA) - January 12, 2007
Deceased Name: Kathryn Gemme: Longtime fan dies at age 112 Former resident of Stoughton was a Boston Red Sox fan since the times of Babe Ruth
Kathryn Gemme, a lifelong Red Sox fan who followed the team since the days of Babe Ruth, has died. She was 112.
Gemme died at the Nemasket Healthcare Center in Middleborough on December 28th, according to the O'Neill Funeral Home.
Gemme attended her first game at Fenway Park at age 18 in 1912 shortly after the ballpark opened and her last game in May 2004 when she was greeted by catcher Jason Varitek and Johnny Pesky.
Team officials brought the 2004 World Series trophy to her 111th birthday party in November 2005.
Before the days of television, Gemme would listen to Red Sox games on the radio and take detailed notes that she would later read back to her husband, Ovella, when he returned home from work. Gemme credited her long life and health to simple living.
"I didn't drink, didn't smoke, I ate regularly. No fancy stuff," she once told The Enterprise of Brockton.
Although her eyesight, hearing and mobility failed, she remained mentally sharp until the end, said Sharon Gosling, Nemasket's activity director.
Born Kathryn Moreau in Chicopee in 1894, she graduated from Chicopee High School and attended a local secretarial school.
During World War II she helped prepare parachutes for the Air Force. She is also a former resident of Stoughton and Marion.
Gemme was predeceased by her husband and one daughter, Lillian. Besides Lucille Findley, she is survived by four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
A funeral Mass was held last Thursday at Sacred Heart Church in Middleborough. Gemme was laid to rest at St. Patrick Cemetery in Chicopee.
