CLOVENNE T. "TONI" CANNON
December 1923 ~ July 27, 2015
Mrs. Toni Cannon passed away this past Monday, July 27, 2015, at age 91. She had suffered a broken hip a few months ago, followed by complications. She passed away in Montrose under hospice care at a medical facility.
Mrs. Cannon taught at Burbank High School for 30 years from 1960 until her retirement in 1990. Before teaching at BHS she taught at John Muir Junior High in Burbank for four years in the late 1950's. At BHS she taught psychology, government, senior studies, senior seminar, and for four years she headed the BHS Career Center. Several times over her years at BHS she was voted "favorite teacher" by the student body, and had Ceralbus yearbooks dedicated to her. Mrs. Cannon attended the BHS '70 class reunions in 1990 and 2010. She lived a very active life during her retirement years.
Mrs. Cannon had lived in La Crescenta for decades, and remained in her own home until just the past few months when her health began to decline. She is survived by her daughter, Holly Cannon. A memorial gathering will be held in her honor later on.

A few Facebook comments...
Sue Cooper
She introduced me to my chosen field, psychology.
Debbie Leaf
She is one of the reasons I got a BA in psychology from UCLA, and to this day I am a political junkie based on Ms. Cannon also sparking my interest in government based on the way she taught that class.
Kathleen Schaedler
Rest in peace Mrs. Cannon. You were one of the great ones for sure...
Roxy Flores Neale (BHS Class of 84')
Mrs. Cannon was my senior seminar teacher and directed me to do great works for my project. She also taught a group of us how to do 1040Ez taxes (which at 17, seemed an impossible task). She taught me not to fear government and that I was a part of it and to stay involved. She was a great teacher!
Edward Levitt
I will always have a good memory of this fine BHS teacher having had her for senior seminar in 12th grade. R I P

Back in my day, the class was called senior studies and yes I believe Ms. Cannon was my teacher also.

She was one of my teachers at John Muir. She had control of the classroom. I remember her not putting up with any disruptions. Not that I was disruptive. Or maybe...
Laura Slonecker Jolls

She brought in someone to introduce us to tai chi in senior anthro. I was immediately drawn to it, and after numerous starts and stops, I'm still practicing it to this day. And it was due to Toni Cannon.
Laurie Deatrick
She was one of the few teachers who encouraged constructive debates and out of the box learning. A very accepting, encouraging, and gracious teacher.
Lorna Till Maxwell
Mrs. Cannon was my psychology teacher at BHS, and she also got me involved as a Special Olympics volunteer. She was an inspiration to me! A very kind-hearted, understanding, and dedicated teacher. She will be missed! My sympathies to her family.

Toni was not only a fine teacher for her students, she was a very helpful and supportive colleague. As a new teacher to the social studies department she helped me tremendously. I will always be thankful for her support. A fine teacher, a good lady, and a friend.
Marlee Thompson Edge
I worked with her in the career center from '86-`89. She had great advice and was helpful to students and colleagues. A nice lady that will be missed.

Of all my high school teachers she and Carmen Simms (Spanish Teacher) had the most beneficial impact on my life. My thanks to both of them.
