Debbie has lived locally in the Waterlooville area since 1960. She is married to Nick and has two grown up sons. Whilst worshipping at St. Wilfrid's, Cowplain, she felt God's call to ministry and following three years of studying and training became ordained in Portsmouth Cathedral in 2004. Her calling is to serve, as a deacon, bridging the church and the wider community, 'for such a time as this'. Now the boys are older Debbie and Nick love to travel - anywhere where there is a coral reef to snorkel or scuba is a bonus. Debbie has various hobbies including: family tree research, reading, quilting, stone sculpting, and photography.
