Laddie was born Adell Sylvia Marshack Oct. 12, 1923, in Chicago. She met Delaplane during WWII in San Francisco, memorialized in her novel "A Crowd of Lovers." They reconnected 30 years later at a book party marrying in 1979. He called her "the X-word puzzle girl," a tip of the hat to her lifelong dedication to solving crosswords.
Most of all we miss her.
