- ghastmaster 4y agoIt was mentioned on reddit August 18, 2022. How this person came to this conclusion is unknown. There is no source. Notably, this is more than a month before her death. Strange. https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/ws3kk1/kathleen_booth_creator_of_the_worlds_first/ https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/ws3kk1/kat...

I only knew about her passing because I happened to open the Wikipedia page this morning, and I have not seen a single news article about her passing. Even then, the Wikipedia page only says "Died August 14, 2022 (aged 100)", and the most recent information the article contains is "In May 2019, Booth was reported to be living in retirement, at the age of 97."
