Open House for Deb Mortonson of Sterling-Rock Falls YMCA

Submitted by Ellie Hanlon

Deb Mortonson is a name most Sterling-Rock Falls community members will recognize. Visit Morrison, Polo, Dixon they'll probably know her. Go as far as Florida... Deb's known there too! 

The facility’s Aquatics Director has been involved with YMCA communities for 39 years. Through her dedication to service, youth development and aquatic safety, hundreds of children grew up with a bright memory of “Miss Deb.” 

You may have even heard someone call out “Miss Deb, you taught me how to swim!” Community members of all ages have not only learned how to swim, but have learned the importance of sportsmanship, integrity and just having fun during sports with Deb.

As Deb closes out her YMCA tenure, staff will be hosting a YMCA open house in her honor. Bring the whole family to congratulate Deb on her amazing achievements, share lasting memories, and toast her off to a retirement full of adventure! 

The entire YMCA family wishes Deb the best as she finishes up her last few weeks, and they can’t wait to hear about her many trips and await her next visit back at the Sterling-Rock Falls Family YMCA.

“We want to send Deb off with smiles and joy, because we know she will still be here even after retirement, helping make our communities great!” says Ellie Hanlon, Marketing and Development Director.
