Obituary

Harriett Miriam (Mim) Canning, 94, passed away peacefully August 27, 2021. She was currently residing at Concordia of Franklin Park.

Mim was born November 22, 1926 to the late Alexander and Harriett Campbell in Oakdale, PA.  Mim graduated in 1948 from Grove City College with Bachelor of Science in Education. She retired from teaching accounting after 31 years from North Hills High School. Mim loved teaching and had many graduated students come visit to tell her how much they appreciated her as a teacher.

She was married November 19,1949 to the love of her life to Howard (Hank) Canning, who preceded her in death March 28,1995. Mim and Hank lived together in Wexford and Gibsonia, and prior to moving to Condcordia, Mim lived in Cranberry Township, PA. Mim is survived by three daughters Gwen Hein (Lee) of Double Oak, TX,  Mary Jo Nock (David) of Cranberry Township, PA, and Jane Skelly (Jack) of Harmony, PA. Mim had 9 grandchildren Melanie Hein-Almazan (Luis), Carrie Breckenridge and Lacey Aulbach (Ryan) from Texas. Brandon Nock (Erin) of Butler, PA, Justin Nock (Courtney) of Seven Fields, PA and Kaylan Nock of Butler, PA. Megan Chase (Jeremy) of San Diego CA, Maureen Bell (Monte) of Indiana, PA and Kelsey Quayle (Dan) of Poland, OH. She was also blessed to have loved on 17 great grandchildren - Sydney, Avery and Bentley Almazan; Logan, Charlotte, and Caroline Breckenridge; Caleb, Aaron and Joshua Aulbach; Deakin and Brody Nock; Cameron, Layton and Teigan Nock; Harrison Chase; Kennedy and Lillian Bell. Mim was immensely proud of her family and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories.

Mim was accomplished seamstress, loved to do cross-stitch and knit. She has been a lifelong member of Salem United Methodist Church in Wexford. But her most beloved thing to do was sit on a beach, Ocean Isle Beach, NC and surround herself with all her family. That was her happy place.
