Deana
founded the Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group in 1984, a few
years after her diagnosis. For many years, until Nick
Willson established the e-mail and website networks that
allow committee members to provide support to Deana, she ran
the group’s activities single-handed. Without her efforts
over many years, the group would not be here today. Deana
still acts as coordinator for the group, enrolling new
members, keeping track of the ever-growing database of
members and managing our mail-outs to members. She travels
to as many group meetings as she can to meet new members and
catch up with old friends.
Deana
is the mother of two grown sons and a proud grandmother of
one. She recently retired after more than 25 years loyal
service at her local supermarket, where she worked night
shifts (9pm to 7am) in replenishment, a job she had
maintained since before her diagnosis.
