The Green Bay Packers community and fans across the country are mourning the loss of a beloved icon. Loni Anderson, the celebrated Hollywood actress and lifelong supporter of the Packers, has passed away at the age of 79, her family confirmed earlier today.
Best known for her iconic role as Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati, Loni Anderson lit up television screens for generations. But in Green Bay and across Wisconsin, she held a special place in hearts not just as a star — but as a devoted Cheesehead.
A proud Minnesota native, Anderson's allegiance to the Packers was strong and unwavering. Whether cheering on Brett Favre in the '90s, backing Aaron Rodgers through countless playoff runs, or supporting the next generation of Packers talent, Loni never missed a game, a moment, or a chance to wear green and gold.
“Hollywood may have claimed her career, but her heart belonged to Lambeau,” one fan wrote in a tribute shared online.
“She was one of us.”
Anderson was often spotted attending games at Lambeau Field, wrapped in a Packers scarf, flashing her signature smile. She even made appearances at fan events and charity games, using her platform to support both the team and the community.
Although the cause of death remains private, tributes are pouring in from fans, teammates, and celebrities alike, remembering Loni not only for her talent, but for her fierce loyalty to the Packers.
As Green Bay gears up for a new season, one seat in spirit will forever be reserved for her in the Frozen Tundra.
