Marion Derisma

Since joining our family on February 8th, 2024, Marion has shown an outstanding commitment to the care and well-being of our residents. She began working on the second shift, providing compassionate care with dedication and excellence.

Her hard work and positive attitude quickly stood out, leading her to take on the role of Team Leader on the third shift, where she continues to go above and beyond in everything she does. Her passion for her work shines through in every task she completes, always with a smile and a heart full of dedication.

Marion, we are beyond grateful to have you as part of our big family here at The Canopy! This recognition is just a small token of how much we appreciate your efforts and unwavering dedication.

Congratulations, Marion! You truly deserve it.

Sounds of Peru

Alexa play "If I could" from "Simon & Garfunkel"

“El Cóndor Pasa” is so iconic that, in 2004, Peru declared it part of the nation’s cultural heritage. The original version is an orchestral piece from the 1913 zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa, composed by Peruvian musician Daniel Alomía Robles and inspired by traditional Andean music.

The most internationally recognized version is “El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)” by Simon & Garfunkel, released in 1970 on their album Bridge over Troubled Water. Among hundreds of officially recognized adaptations, this rendition introduced the song to a global audience.

Welcome to Peru
Around the World with Atlas

Land of Ancient Echoes and Living Wonders
Peru is a place where time weaves a magnificent tapestry of past and present. From the dizzying heights of the Andes to the depths of the Amazon rainforest, Peru is a country of contrasts—mystical, colorful, and vibrantly alive. It’s home to ancient civilizations, awe-inspiring landscapes, and cultural traditions that still pulse with life today.

Whether you’re drawn by the lost city of Machu Picchu, the flavors of ceviche, or the haunting sound of Andean flutes, Peru invites you to explore a land where legends walk beside everyday life.

🦙 Amazing Facts about Peru
Machu Picchu Is One of the New Seven Wonders of the World
Built in the 15th century by the Incas and rediscovered in 1911, this mountaintop citadel is Peru’s most iconic site—and a breathtaking symbol of human ingenuity.

Resident of the Month

Dianne Kazimir

We are proud and delighted to recognize Dianne Kazimir as our Resident of the Month for June here at The Canopy at Beacon Woods.

Dianne was born on January 14, 1946, in Clifton, New Jersey. Throughout her life, she has been a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and now great-grandmother. In 1968, she married her high school sweetheart, Paul, and together they shared 52 beautiful years of marriage until his passing from cancer. They built a loving family with two daughters, Kendra and Devon, five grandchildren, and a great-grandson each one a source of pride and joy for Dianne.

Dianne finds happiness in life’s simple pleasures—she loves playing bingo, painting, and getting lost in a good book. Her deep faith, cherished friendships, and strong connection to her Catholic church have always been guiding lights in her journey. Above all, Dianne treasures the love of her family and the warmth of those around her.

Dianne, your kindness, strength, and loving spirit brighten our community every day. Thank you for sharing your light with all of us!

We celebrate you with love today and always!
