Deb Shearer
Volunteering Since: 2005
What are your volunteer activities at WPC or Fallingwater and what do they involve?
I am the Garden Steward at WPC’s community flower garden at First United Methodist Church in Shadyside.
How long have you been a volunteer with us and what motivates you to stay involved?
I have been the steward for around 12 years now. I love making our corner of the city beautiful.
How did you first become involved with WPC or Fallingwater?
Our pastor at the time was moving to a different church. I had always helped out when we planted or pulled out and so he asked me if I would do it. It is hard to say no to your pastor. But honestly, I have enjoyed it.
What do you do when you are not volunteering?
I work as a Category Analyst for Nestle Purina Petcare. I work out of my home with my two puppies (Golden Retriever Bella and Basset Hound Maggie) by my side.
What might we be surprised to know about you?
I am an avid sports fan, Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. I like to bike and play some golf.
