Deborah has been an executive in the advertising/ marketing industry for 35 years and retired in April of 2024 from a company in Minneapolis where she worked for 17 years in the healthcare sector on strategy, creative, data analytics and print, and digital communications.
Deborah moved to the area in January of 2025 to enjoy the great outdoors. Both she and husband Patrick are avid skiers, hikers and bikers. Deborah came out of retirement this past July when Valley Copy was up for sale or was going to close. She made the decision to take it on due to the critical nature of being the only business services provider in the area. And with the foot traffic Valley Copy receives, adding an art gallery to showcase the many local talented artists from the area was a natural fit. She also loves art!
Deborah’s first board position was in 1991 – giving many years of philanthropy to the St Louis community. Now she is very proud to call Ogden Valley home – it is in her blood – and she wants to do what she can to help it thrive. So, the CFOV is a perfect fit to round out her role in the valley.
