Suzanne Hale, the Matriarch Behind Portland Diner the Roxy, Has Died - Eater Portland
"The longstanding owner of beloved downtown diner the Roxy and onetime Empress of the Imperial Sovereign Rose Court, Hale was known as a staunch advocate for the Portland queer community, a chosen mother for many of the city’s unhoused youth, and an effervescent presence within the city’s restaurant scene." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
