As Deborah's career as an actress progressed and flourished, she gradually transitioned into more complex and sophisticated roles, effortlessly navigating a range of characters across the spectrum of teenage and early twenties personas. It was in the year 1996 that she exchanged vows with Ron Markezich, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
The couple's decision to relocate to the vibrant city of Seattle was soon followed by the arrival of a new addition to their family - four precious children, including a set of twins, who brought immense joy and fulfillment to their lives. Over the course of the next three and a half years, Deborah and Ron cherished every moment of parenthood, guiding their children through the ups and downs of childhood with love, care, and dedication.
