Fabulous 40 Over 40!

Meet Deborah Collins

Deborah kept showing photos of her cute grandkids on the phone and I kept thinking – how is she a grandmother?! Deborah’s personality is so sweet, bubbly and fun! Read her life story below!

What is your background?

I am an only child and was born and raised in New Jersey on the Jersey Shore. I was raised by my mom, who was a hard-working, loving mother. She was my best friend and although we didn’t have a lot of money and she struggled she overcompensated with her love and affection. I have 4 beautiful children, one son, and three daughters as well as seven amazing grandchildren.

What is your profession?

Insurance Executive Personal and Commercial

What are your achievements and/or hobbies?

Four children and seven grandchildren of course. I have been very fortunate in my career and feel I always give my best and that has allowed me to succeed at the multitude of things I’ve done in my career. From OSHA, to headhunter to insurance. I love working outside in the yard and gardening. Being at, near, or around the beach is a necessity.
