Marion Keenan Giving Society
A pioneer and remarkable leader, Marion Keenan’s life was a testament to her compassion and dedication to the dignity and comfort of those in their final days. As the inaugural leader of Coastal Hospice, she laid the foundation for a compassionate and dedicated organization, forever changing the landscape of end-of-life care on the Lower Eastern Shore.
Marion Keenan served as President of Coastal Hospice for twenty-seven years. With unwavering commitment, Marion navigated the challenges of building a new organization. Her vision and determination brought Coastal Hospice to life, transforming what started as a Home Health Agency covering a 15-mile radius in Salisbury, MD into the organization we are today, serving four counties and covering more than 2,600 square miles. Without a doubt, her leadership was a beacon of hope, illuminating the path for us all to follow.
