Earlier this month, Ree shared a touching tribute on herPioneer Woman blogabout Ladd’s father, also known as Pa-Pa.
“He had been declining over the past two months and we knew his time was limited,” she wrote. “After feeling pretty miserable for the past two or three months, he was finally ready to go.”
The celebrity chef said her father-in-law lived “such a full life,” adding, “He was happiest working, and all the grandkids knew that you should never, ever, ever say you’re bored around Pa-Pa…because he’d give you enough work to do to cure you of boredom forever!”
