Obituary
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - Tennis Hall of Famer Pauline Betz Addie has died at 91. She was the top women's player in the United States in the 1940s.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame said Thursday that Addie died Tuesday at an assisted-living facility in Potomac, Md. She had suffered from Parkinson's disease.
She reached the finals of the U.S. National Championship (now the U.S. Open) every year from 1941-46, winning the title four times. In 1946, she won the Wimbledon singles championship without losing a set in the entire tournament.
Originally from Dayton, Ohio, she was raised in Los Angeles and introduced to the sport as a child by her mother, a physical education teacher. Addie was a longtime teaching professional in the Washington, D.C., area.

I taught tennis for Pauline at Sidwell Friends and privately in Maryland. To get the job, she asked me to play against her. She was a great champion and player, and an even better person. It is my great honor to have known her. I'm sure she is missed by all who knew her.

I really appreciate anyone who is has made the difference in sports. One day we will all have the perfect bodies to do what ever we desire in any sport. I hope the family and friends of Miss Addie fine comfort in that realization. May Miss Addie rest in peace until Jesus says "Wake Up"

May the God of comfort and tender mercies continue to comfort you and your family.
Know that very shortly death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things will have passed away.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
