Biography

Deborah is a newly devoted mah jongg player who discovered the game just months ago and quickly fell in love with its creativity, challenge, and sense of connection. Now proudly “obsessed,” she hosts games and creative workshops in her backyard she-shed, a warm and welcoming space where learning and laughter come together. Recently retired, Deborah has been married to her soulmate for 33 years and is the proud mother of four and grandmother of six. With her white multi-poo, Sadie, often nearby, she looks forward to expanding her she-shed gatherings to include mah jongg lessons and community play.
