Deborah has been blessed to be a member of Salem Lutheran Church for over 50 years and a teacher at Salem Lutheran School for more than 30 years. She is a graduate of Illinois College and earned her colloquy from Concordia College River Forest. She enjoys relaxing with family and friends, spending time in her flower garden, taking day trips, and being thankful for all the many blessings that God has given her. “Teaching has always been my passion, and I am truly blessed to have been able to teach at Salem. Salem is my home away from home,” said Deborah. “The Christ-centered education that my children received at Salem from preschool to eighth grade was wonderful!”
