She lives in Pawtucket, RI with her husband Scott and their 3 fur-children (1 dog, 2 cats). She has two grown sons and a 2-year-old grandson. Scott has 2 grown daughters & granddaughters. Deb says she is “really proud to be part of Old Colony Habitat for Humanity. This amazing organization is backed by a great bunch of dedicated volunteers who are all committed to the same goal: creating safe, comfortable and affordable houses. 

Together, we construct houses, but it’s the families who turn them into homes.”
