Leslie Misenhimer

Executive Director

My career in Senior Living began as a volunteer in Life Enrichment. This, along with caring for my mother in her last days, gave me a servant’s heart towards our seniors. In addition to my own family, which includes a new husband, 4 children and a new grandson, I now have a host of other friends and family that I am privileged to interact with at Governor’s Ridge on a daily basis. It warms my heart knowing I have been part of making someone’s day a little brighter with a smile or a kind word. We’d love to meet you here at The Ridge!

Bethany Cobb

Back Office Manager

Bethany Cobb – I began working at Governor’s Ridge as a caregiver my senior year in high school (2007) and have fallen in love with the senior population. I transitioned to Assistant Care Director and eventually into Administrative Assistant. When not at work, I am raising my 5 year old son, caring for my mom and spending as much time as I can outdoors. My goal is making our residents’ lives better every day. It may be a hug, helping with their electronic questions or talking to their families. I am ready and willing to meet their needs, whatever it may be.
