Throughout her remarkable career Ms. Canion has received awards, accolades and has been recognized worldwide for her outstanding leadership.

She has dedicated her life’s work to helping people find joy and happiness in their end-of-life journey. Her empathy, compassion and experiences are relatable, and her stories are inspiring. We are looking forward to celebrating her outstanding accomplishments at the gala.”
Looking back, Ms. Canion attributes her success to her perseverance, her work ethic and her adaptability, which her parents instilled in her. When not working, she enjoys traveling, and spending time with her family, which includes 20 grandchildren. For the future, she hopes to continue helping others build and reinforce happy memories by remembering to find humor during an otherwise difficult and overwhelming end of life journey. “Remember all you will have left are memories once your Loved Ones are gone, create new ones now.”
