A Brief Tribute to CRA Board Member - Janice Bradner
For those of us who were honored to know, play, and volunteer with Janice in Carmel-by-the-Sea - she exemplified boundless energy, passion and generosity for our Village, its nature, culture, places and people. Sadly, she passed on days after Christmas and days before her New Years Eve birthday. She definitely will be missed by the CRA Board and many more whose lives she touched throughout our Village and beyond by friends and family.
As in her brief CRA Directors bio "Janice was born and raised in the Bay Area and had a 35-year career at Chevron. She and her husband bought a cottage in Carmel in 1999 and relocated here full-time in 2016. After retiring, she served on the board of directors of CASA in Contra Costa County and she was an early project leader in Carmel Cares in our Village."
