(Anne Narejko photo) She'll always remember the residents By Anne Narejko CLINTON - When Madelon Yeats speaks about Huronview, she talks about the kind- ness of the staff and the joy she received when speaking to the residents. After 14 years and seven months on the job, Mrs. Yeats has reached retirement age and plans to take life easy with her husband George, who retired on February 27. For the Last nine and a half years of Mrs. Yeats career she was the Director of Nurs- ing at Huronview, which gave her the responsibility of staffing and looking after the administrative end. And even though she did enjoy her job, she missed certain aspects of her previous nursing position. "L really enjoyed nursing. I still spent a lot of time talking and being supportive of the residents ( after her promotion ). A lot of them come prepared, knowing that it i Huronview is home, but others come with mixed feelings," Mrs. Yeats said. Being born and raised in Summerhill, Mrs. Yeats took her registered nursing training in (Tinton and graduated in 1943. She ha ultsedk Eriglitnct Apd Sddland as well. While she was in Scotland, Mrs. Yeats worked in a rural area and when in England she nursed in an obstetrical nursing home. Mr. and Mrs. Yeats returned to Canada in 1961 where Mrs. Yeats took a job at the Clin- ton Public Hospital. Later she took i11 for four months, and once she had recovered, she was hired as an office nurse for Dr. Ad- dison and later Dr. Harrett. In July of 1972, Mrs. Yeats accidently stumbled on to a job at Huronview. "It was quite by accident," she explained. "They phoned me wondering if I'd like a job as a day supervisor. I'd never even been there before." Mrs. Yeats did not think she was going to like her career move. "On the first day, I thought if I could stick it out for a month I'd be doing well," she said. "Now 14 years later..." Mrs. Yeats remained day supervisor for five years, being appointed director of nurs- ing in July of 1977. Looking hack on her career, Mrs. Yeats found it hard to pick a favorite memory, saying, "All of the residents became such a part of my day that I became very close to them." On 1•'1•bruary 2.3, her retiremept day, ex - staff, present staff frorn all departrnents and residents gathered in the Huronview auditorium to say farewell and pass on good wishes. "It really slakes you feel good," .she said. "My retirement day will always be remembered." Mrs. Yeats was also treated to a luncheon by the department heads, Huron County Warden Brian McBurney and she has received numerous cards and phone calls sending retirement wishes. An unexpected outing was also a highlight of Mrs. Yeats' retirement. "1 received a card that told me my hus- band would take me to a place at 7 a.m. and from there I'd go to a 'destination unknown,— she said. Her husband took her uptown where she met Rosemary Armstrong and took a bus to Toronto to see the play Cats. "It was such a cute idea, and not knowing anything about it, tt was really a surprise," she said. Mrs. Yeats .has no definite plans for her retirement. She just plans on spending a lot of time with her husband who retired from Cookes' Florist after 25 years as a grower. They are planning a p to Europe and Britain when the •,;wlllviSjt 1r_.Yeats'fami- ly and niaftj► of thr3°° ', rt fr$etidS:. n As for eavi I tr,n�w s i'eats said.
