New resident spotlight:
Mildred Dowling
June 2018
She may be new to Fulton Presbyterian Manor, but it’s certainly not new to her. Mildred Dowling joined our family in January 2018, but her father, Judge Oscar A. Kamp, was with us from 1982-1988.
“I chose Fulton Presbyterian Manor over other area options partly because I was familiar with it, and partly because I really like the levels of care they offer here. If you get really ill, you don’t always have to be rushed to the hospital or to another place,” said Mildred. Mildred knows first-hand what kind of dilemma that can be, after her husband went through a similar experience several years ago.
Mildred Dowling is a second generation resident at Fulton Presbyterian Manor.
“What I liked about here was that skilled care was available if you became ill and could no longer manage. Like my husband when he got sick, we went somewhere else. The care was poor, and he didn’t get good attention. He got so bad, and one night, he had a 105degree fever. Nobody caught it, and he had to go in to the hospital by ambulance. Three different times they took him in. He ended up passing from sepsis. He just had too much wrong at that point,” said Mildred.
Mildred and her husband, Kerry, enjoyed many things in life before his passing. Mildred was several years into her teaching career before she met her husband and moved to Montgomery City where he had a car dealership.

“I taught in high school on business subjects like shorthand, bookkeeping, business law and business English. I taught in three schools total. I taught in Bellflower one year right out of school, and then worked for the summer for the county clerk. Kerry was on the school board in Wellsville, then I worked in Wellsville for two years. We then got married and I taught in Montgomery City for a while,” said Mildred.
