In a team email released yesterday, the New Market Rebels have announced that Lynne Alger, longtime Rebel concession worker, host mom, and wife to President and General Manager Bruce Alger, passed away Friday afternoon after a long fight with cancer.

The club email said this: “It is with deep sadness that the New Market Rebels organization announces the passing of Lynne Alger yesterday afternoon. No arrangements have been announced and the family is not receiving calls at this time. Further information will be forwarded when it becomes available.”

ATVL’s prayers and thoughts go out to the Alger family and Rebel franchise during this difficult time.
