Today's Featured Biography

Deb Parlow Donley

I used the format from an old class reunion booklet for this Profile/Biography. I hope that you let us know what you and your family are up to! See you soon...

I retired June, 2011 from Verona Area School District, just outside Madison, where I was Educational Technology Coordinator, Assistive Technology Specialist, and Speech and Language Pathologist for 34 years.

I have been divorced since 1999 and am happily single. I have 2 awesome sons and daughter-in-laws. Brian is Manager of Financial Planning and Analysis for Enerpac, in Germantown WI. Brian was married to Michelle on July 21, 2012 and they now have a daughter (born 4/10/15) and a son (born 4/24/18). Kevin received his Doctorate in Psychology from Temple University, and is a School Pscyhologist in Philadelphia PA. Kevin got married to Caitlin on October 4, 2014. They have 2 cats and a Golden Retriever. Kevin and Caitlin wrote a blog about their amazing 2011 cross country bicycle trip (I also listed it as my "Business" website) http://headwind2011.blogspot.com

Travels: I have mostly been to Florida (where I now reside- in Village Walk in Bonita Springs). I have also visited San Diego, San Francisco, Carmel, Lake Tahoe Las Vegas, Vancouver, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia, New York City, and a variety of places in Connecticut and Colorado. In the Fall of 2011 I went to a number of national parks including the Grand Canyon (north and South rims), Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Lake Powell. In September 2016 I took a wonderful Uniworld river cruise on the Rhine and Moselle rivers- beginning in Basel, Switzerland and ending in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I am hoping to continue to travel as much as possible if Covid ever ends. If you need a travel partner, or want some company, let me know!

Interests/Hobbies: Spending time with my family, attending concerts, shows, and athletic events, dancing ("Disco Deb" is my alter ego), going to the beach or pool, golfing, messing around with the computer and/or ipad, reading newspapers or magazines, drinking good coffee, drinking good wine, eating at restaurants with friends, playing the piano, and exercising (I’m not sure this is an interest, but I try to do it regularly).

Favorite Quote or Saying: Good friends are like stars…you don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.

What Have You Learned From Life: Do something that you enjoy every day!
