Sarah Doole’s obituary information
Sarah Doole’s burial is not out yet.
However, Fremantle Group CEO Jennifer Mullin said: “Those who had the pleasure of working with Sarah will know that she was a true creative and a driving force. Her passion and her energy had no limits. She helped lay the strong foundations of our Global Drama business and was a brilliant leader. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.”
Anton TV head Sangeeta Desai told Broadcast Magazine: “Since her death, tributes have poured in from across the globe and I am overwhelmed by the number of people within the industry who have remarked on how she supported them and lifted them in their careers. That sums up Sarah to a tee – she was a builder – a builder of content, people, and companies, and she never looked for any recognition or commendation in return. She was the best colleague and friend that I could have asked for and I will miss her tremendously.”
Sarah Doole is survived by her husband Chris.
