Another Workplace Conundrum (Yes god damn it, another one!)

In eternity, where there is no time, nothing can grow. Nothing can become. Nothing changes. So death created time to grow the things that it would kill and you are reborn but into the same life that you've always been born into.
Got another manager working at the place who's been working for the company for, in her words, 23 years. She is horrifically incompetent in that place, to the point where a lot of people are refusing to come in if she's being put in charge. To stress how serious that is, refusing to come in is one of the few things the GM WILL fire people for. What makes it especially frustrating? She's there because she is good friends with the owner of that particular store.
Well that's frustrating enough, but some very serious signs have been presented. This lady is in her 60's or 70's and a few weeks ago, she let one of the drivers leave almost an hour before closing time which still left plenty of time for a last minute rush. I pointed that out to her along with the fact that now we didn't have anyone to wash dishes and she didn't seem to comprehend it. She just went about her business and walked past a screen and saw the time and said "Whoa, we've still got thirty minutes?!" this was after she told me and the other employee to get our money and miles and such so we could get cashed out and leave. Me and the other employee just stood there, kind of at a loss, because it wasn't one of those "It felt like it was X O'clock", she really didn't know it was that time.
Along with the other ways she been a serious problem, things sadly started to make sense. I reported to the GM either the next day or the day after that I had a strong suspicion that she's got Dementia/Alzhiemer's. She's still employed there, but now she isn't required to do ANYTHING. Other coworkers have noticed similar alarming issues and yeah...so I guess we just let this happen I suppose. Until she hurts herself or someone else. Hopefully that won't happen, but still it sucks.
