Congratulations to our July employee spotlight of the month, Melissa Gilchrist!
Melissa has worked in the dietary department here at George Ade for ten years. She has been married to her husband for 37 years and has 11 children and 13 grandchildren. Melissa’s favorite restaurant to eat at is the Golden Corral. Her favorite food to eat is watermelon and her favorite thing to drink is strawberry lemonade. When she is not working, she enjoys sewing, gardening, and cake decorating. She really enjoys working with all her coworkers in the kitchen and other coworkers in other departments as well. Her greatest accomplishment is raising her eleven children and if she is having a bad day, hearing children laugh cheers her up. Melissa is very involved with her church, and her faith is incredibly important to her. Melissa and her church are always one of the first to volunteer to make baked goods for personnel committee bake sales that benefit our employees and always plan on having the kids come out to George Ade to sing for the residents at Christmas time. She is always willing to come in and help in the kitchen when extra help is needed and picks up shifts, even if it’s last minute. She is a dependable employee and is always kind to our residents when she passes them in the hallway. The best advice Melissa has ever received is to make sure you know Jesus as your Savior. Thank you for everything you do here at George Ade, Melissa! We are lucky and blessed to have you!
