By Lynda Richard

Bradner has lost one of its most beloved residents with the passing of Mary Fatkin on December 14th, 2015 at the age of 90. Mary was a hard worker who loved her community and family. She was close to her grandkids and spoke fondly of them, having been very lucky to live right next door to two of them for most of their lives. She loved the laughter and life that the grandkids brought to her home, which she shared with husband Les. Her love of community was evident, as she worked quietly, often forgoing the accolades of someone front and centre, preferring to stay in the background. People who knew her were well aware of how very much she contributed to our community.

Bradner, BC - On December 7th, 2015 at about 8 pm neighbours in the 58th Avenue and Beatty Road were alerted by the sound of many sirens. Bystanders witnessed 11 firetrucks, 2 police cars and a fire department command post truck attending a property on the north side of 58th Avenue, west of Beatty Street. Huge spot lights were set up to illuminate the whole driveway, field and barn on the property. Upon arrival, one neighbour said he was told by bystanders that it was a barn fire... but there was no visible flames, smoke or heat. For hours, motorists were unable to pass through both directions on 58th Avenue including Beatty Street. If you have any further info please email The Bradner Barker.
