For decades, Laddie Dwyer led the pack booking entertainment for hotels, ships and every party.
An authentic entrepreneur respected for her savvy; we’ll always remember her laughter so hearty.
She was feisty, dedicated and funny, and the luckiest gal we knew.
She loved helping folks, booking the big stages with talent; and her business grew!
Laddie enjoyed taking risks, trying new things and going with the flow.
She wasn’t a newcomer to Jacksonville; everyone knew she was a dedicated pro!
She cherished family, food, nightlife, partying and creating the buzz.
We don’t believe she ever did pots, pans or dishes … it’s not who she was.
Invite Laddie to a party; you’d be laughing with her as she appeared.
A lifetime Women’s Food Alliance member; a friend to all as her ending neared.
She was the BEST when networking, always considering entertainer’s careers and what they required
The foundation of her life’s work – a wonderful woman who seemed never to grow tired.
We’ll all remember Laddie as she nourished friends and fans with great stories and a good time.
Her memory is etched in our hearts with signature hats, bright lipstick, dynamic voice … a life sublime.
