Remembering Dr. Gladys Taylor McGarey
November 30, 1920 - September 28, 2024

Dr. Gladys left this earthly plane Saturday, September 28, heading for new horizons we’ve only dreamt of.

Dr. Gladys leaves behind a legacy of love rooted in the most important secret she shared: Love is the most powerful medicine. She often talked about the 5Ls: Love, Life, Labor, Laughter, and Listening, pointing out that love must accompany each of the other Ls for them to lead to health and happiness. “Once you’re able to receive love, health and happiness will follow. Then the only natural response is to start spreading it to everyone you meet.” We are so very grateful for the love, joy, and wisdom she shared and hope these continue to ripple far and wide.

In regard to the first secret to health and happiness shared in her book “You are here for a reason,” Dr. Gladys wrote: “living with purpose can actually help us live longer – and better. And the joy it brings to our lives will ripple out to the world around us.” She truly lived this way, working tirelessly on her most recent 10-year plan to the very end, and her work lives on through The Foundation for Living Medicine which will continue to work to further Dr. Gladys’ legacy, including her vision for a Village for Living Medicine.

If Dr. Gladys touched your heart, please consider contributing to The Foundation for Living Medicine’s efforts to KEEP her legacy alive through educational programming, media projects and her long held vision to create THE VILLAGE FOR LIVING MEDICINE, a state of the art, health services campus embedded in her philosophy of living medicine.  Thank you for helping us keep her legacy alive.

In honor of Dr. Gladys, let us embrace her mantra “Be Glad” and continue spreading the waves of her love, wisdom, and joy across the globe.

I am so sorry to read about the passing of Dr Gladys. 2,3 years ago I watched many videos and read your newsletters and it was very uplifting to hear and see. What a great rolemodel in so many ways she has been and still is. Those who move our heart are always living on.. through us. Thanks. Christine
My sincere, heartfelt condolences to everyone who knew Dr Gladys. Meeting her was a highlight and honour for me, both personally and professionally. I was so in awe of Dr Gladys, I spent most of a conference running away from her when we continuously kept bumping into each other. It was obvious there was a recognition, a connection, so the universe had to literally have Dr Gladys fall down a couple of steps in front of me, for me to finally speak to her. as I picked her back up! On the last day, she found me and said that we must speak. I opened up about the types of patients I was seeing as a traditional Osteopath and as a Cayce scholar, as she nodded in complete understanding of my journey. I also took the opportunity to thank her for her contribution to my studies and vision, through her books and vast work. Over the years, she would come into my mind and I would have a feeling I should be having better contact with her, despite living in two different continents. My plans before COVID struck was to visit Dr Gladys with a mutual contact who was writing a book. Instead, my last contact was when I emailed Dr Gladys with some concerns and clinical insights into COVID, which she generously replied would be added to the White Paper she was preparing. She was so gracious, humble and respectful, embracing humanity as she found it. She leaves the challenge and opportunity for others to live up to the same ideals, to be a channel of blessings for others, as she continues to do her great work as a shining beacon of light. Yes, what a life well lived…and what an answer to a prayer in so many different ways, for many. Deep gratitude, thank you, Dr Gladys xx
I will always remember Dr. Gladys as Light of Love and Saving Grace! At a time when my heart was filled with hopelessness and dismay, Dr. Gladys reached out to me and my daughter. My daughter spent time in Arizona with Dr. Gladys. She helped my family so very much. Love and Grace, dear Dr. Gladys, forever in my heart.💞💘💜
I had to come back to post this lovely poem as I read more about the remarkable life My Mentor, Dr. Gladys McGarey lived; A consolation for family, friends, colleagues and all who knew her: The Rose Beyond the Wall A rose once grew where all could see Sheltered beside a garden wall And, as the days past swiftly by It spread its branches, straight and tall One day, a beam of light shone through A crevice that had opened wide The rose bent gently toward its warmth Then passed beyond to the other side Now, you who deeply feel its loss Be comforted, the rose blooms there It’s beauty even greater now Nurtured by God’s own loving care.
