Associate of the Month

Shannon Cantrell, a Marietta/Travelers Rest native, has always been deeply rooted in her
community. After graduating from her local high school, she embraced a life filled with family,
dedicating her time to her husband of 12 years, her 5 children, and 6 grandchildren. Alongside
her beloved 3-year-old chihuahua, Harley, Shannon enjoys spending her free moments
supporting her boys as they race motocross.

Before joining the Spring Park family in 2022, Shannon worked as a waitress for 15 years. It
was during this time that she discovered her true passion for healthcare, realizing that helping
others was her calling. Now, she is actively pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Business
Administration with a focus on the medical field at Strayer University, determined to turn her
dream of becoming an Executive Director for an assisted living facility into reality.

Since becoming a part of Spring Park, Shannon has demonstrated unwavering dedication to her
residents, treating them with the same care and affection she has for her own family. She is
always willing to step up, whether it’s lending a helping hand at the front desk, picking up extra
shifts, or simply being a listening ear for both residents and coworkers alike. Shannon’s
commitment, kindness, and enthusiasm for learning make her an invaluable member of the
Spring Park team.

We are grateful to have her as such an essential part of our family and look forward to seeing
her continue to grow and thrive in her journey.
