Resident Feature: Barry Everhart
Meet Barry Everhart! Barry was born on December 30, 1953. He’s an early riser who still enjoys staying up late. His morning routine includes drinking a cup of coffee, watching TV, washing up, taking his medicine, and having a smoke.
Barry’s go-to outfit is a comfortable pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. His favorite meal is fried chicken—always paired with coffee! One thing you won’t find on his plate is beef liver.
Barry has always had a heart for helping others. He’s volunteered at the local hospital and Jay C’s, and he even served as a volunteer fireman at a chemical plant. An extrovert by nature, Barry loves chatting with people wherever he goes.
He is most proud of his daughter, Heather, who was born in 1984, and his five wonderful grandchildren. Barry graduated from high school and has enjoyed a variety of hobbies and interests over the years, including camping, fishing, and swimming. He also loves watching sports—especially cheering for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Barry spent most of his life in North Carolina and hopes to travel back there someday. His comfort foods usually involve anything chocolate. A few of his fondest memories include owning two successful businesses.
When Barry feels down, he finds peace in reading, watching TV, drinking coffee, praying, or relaxing in a quiet space. His favorite holiday memory is celebrating Christmas with his family—making memories that last a lifetime.
