Celebration of Life Honoring Kari Hoover

Blackbird Brewery is honored to host a heartfelt evening celebrating the life of Kari Hoover, a cherished friend, our beloved bartender, and treasured member of the Wake Forest community. This private event is an opportunity for Kari’s friends, family, and anyone whose life she touched to come together, raise a glass in her memory, share stories, and honor the incredible spirit that made her so unforgettable.

In true Kari fashion, we’re turning this celebration into a 90s Prom Night—a nod to her vibrant personality and love of bringing people together. Dust off your prom attire, throw on your best 90s look, and join us for an evening filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt toasts to Kari.

Let’s come together to remember an extraordinary woman and the joy she brought to so many lives. We can’t wait to see everyone who loved and cherished Kari at Blackbird Brewery as we honor her legacy.

Please RSVP to Abigail Hodges (919) 452-8667 to let us know you’ll be joining us for this special evening in Kari’s memory.

A GoFundMe has been created to help ease the financial burden of medical expenses, allowing Kari’s family to focus on what matters most—healing and supporting each other. Every donation, big or small, is a testament to the love and support surrounding Kari’s memory and her three wonderful children, Dylan, Caiden, and Sawyer. Please share this fundraiser with anyone who knows and loves Kari and may wish to offer their support.
