Good luck. I bet it works out.
I would give anyone who has worked 18 years in one spot and left on his own a very serious look for any position that fit his skills and experience.
Unfortunately, the owners will figure out after you're gone what a disaster "the person" is because they'll lose everybody good who reports to her. When I have been in management positions I have always taken it seriously when long-term employees (professionally) raise concerns like yours. One, you can maybe put down to personality issues but more than one and there's probably an issue.
Likely, "the person" is intimidated by long-term employees (especially men, it appears) reporting to her. "A" managers want "A" people working for them. "B" and "C" managers are worried about being shown up and want less competent newbies working for them.
