Submitted by zoe.elrod on Tue, 11/28/2023 - 16:38

Our Director of Communications, Angel Suhrstedt, passed away almost a month ago. We know how much she impacted those around her, and we wanted to take a second to honor her memory by sharing some of the tributes shared in her honor by her fellow employees.  

There will be a Celebration of Life at Tower Theatre on Dec 11, 2023, from 6-9 pm. The family is asking for people to simply RSVP so they can get a rough headcount. Please RSVP at http://evite.me/fJcmMNQsJr.
