Deb is into her 41st year as the choir director at St. Thomas. Finding appropriate and meaningful music for both traditional and contemporary worship continues to be a passion and a challenge in order to enhance the music ministry and praise God through music. She taught for 28 years in Utica Schools, 5 in elementary music and 23 in the elementary classroom. Her 5 grandchildren Abby, Izzy, Zac, Mary, and Norah are her greatest joys, as well as her wonderful husband Steve. In her spare time, she researches new music, reads mysteries, and she is also an avid sports fan. (GO GREEN!!!!)
