Dawn Henry

Glady was such a great person to be around. She was always very out going, she would always go up to new residents that would move in and get to know them and make them feel more at ease. I absolutely loved talking to her, she always had something to say about just about everything. Gladly was one of my favorite residents. On a couple of occasions when I was getting her ready for bed she always would put Vic’s in her nose and Vaseline on her lips and wanted it to be massaged onto her feet. On some occasions we would be to talking and not paying attention and she accidentally put Vaseline in her nose thinking it was Vic’s so every time I get her ready for bed, I kept reminding her Vaseline on lips and she and I would laugh. I absolutely love Glady she will be missed by so many people especially those she sat with at the table, other residents that played cards every day. She will be missed when looking at the end of the table playing bingo, when doing crafts. I’m so so sorry for the loss of Glady. She was one of a kind. Walking into Countryside will be missing a real Gem
