Conrad Tate Kendall Sutherland

May 28, 1934 — November 4, 2021

Abingdon, Va. - Conrad Tate Kendall Sutherland, age 87, passed away on November 4, 2021 at Johnston Memorial Hospital in Abingdon, Virginia. Conrad was born in Nancy, Virginia on May 28, 1934. He was the second of four children born to the late Edgar and Chloe Compton Sutherland.

He is also survived by his friend, Brenda Swindall; and his special caregiver, Molly Collin.

Conrad graduated from East Tennessee State University and taught English at Clintwood High School in the early 1960s, before moving to Northern Virginia, where he worked for the United States Department of the Navy, Melpar, and Exxon.  About 1988, Conrad moved to Abingdon, Virginia, a town that he dearly loved, and began working at the Barter Theatre.

Conrad chose to be cremated and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date to be announced. His cremated remains will be scattered in the Couger Sutherland Family Cemetery at Nancy, Virginia.
