Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 13, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 13, 2019 Fara Bushnell, the president of Fortuna Insurance Service in Lexington, passed away Mar. 10 after a battle with cancer. A familiar face at Central Kentucky auction houses, Bushnell was also an accomplished dog breeder and was the co-owner of a Bernese Mountain Dog that won Best of Breed at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in New York in 2009. “She was a steadfast and loyal friend to many,” said breeder Nancy Cole. “We traveled many times together to Saratoga and to the Florida 2-year-old sales, wonderful memories, she was a extended member of our family. Fara was an astute and savvy business woman in equine insurance world, an accomplished dog breeder, good horsewoman, great photographer and quick witted and wonderful friend. She will be sorely missed and not forgotten.” According to Cole, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a foundation Bushnell started, the Bernese Mountain Dog Charitable Foundation Inc. (www.bmdcf.org). View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
