Deborah rented a large house, Boxmore Lodge, just outside Lurgan, in Dollingstown. That house became the centre of Bahá'í activities in the area. A number of Bahá'í marriages took place there. Two Hands of the Cause, Mr. Alaee and Dr. Muhajer stayed there. Deborah stayed for many years and served the Faith with love and zeal.
She returned to Canada to a pioneering post but made several visits back to the Province with the members of her family. In 1998 she briefly returned to take part in the 25th Anniversary of the formation of the Craigavon Spiritual Assembly.
