Meet Kathleen, 106 years young!

August 30, 2022

Thanks to Kathleen and her family for sharing our client Kathleen’s life story. Kathleen celebrates 106 years young this year and so we were keen to learn more about this amazing lady.

Born in June 1916, Kathleen (Conlon) Glover was the first of 10 children. Her early years were spent in her Grandfather’s house on Oriel Street before the family moved to their own home in Inchicore.

In 1943 she married the love of her life – Michael (Lar) Glover (1916-2007) and moved in to his Father’s house. In 1950, with 4 children under the age of 6 they moved to their own home on Kennelsfort Road Palmerstown where they had 2 more children (3 girls & 3 boys).

72 years later, at 106 years young, she is still living in her own home! She is blessed to have her 3 devoted daughters share the task of staying with her and managing her care. They greatly benefit from the support of a team of very dedicated carers Monday to Friday.

She credits her long & happy life to lots of good food, no alcohol or tobacco, her deep faith & devotion to Our Lady, and of course her loving family.

One thing for sure, loneliness has never come calling and her enjoyment of people and their stories keeps her flame burning.

Private HomeCare would like to wish Kathleen all the best and we look forward to celebrating her 107th birthday next year!
