Administrative Assistant

Debby Marchment

Originally from central Alberta, I’ve called Edson home since 1990. After raising my young family, I returned to work as Recreation Director at Parkland Lodge, where I discovered a passion for supporting aging adults. Volunteering with the Edson Seniors Transportation Society led me into a career in administration, primarily in the oilfield. Now, I’ve come full circle— excited to be back working with vulnerable individuals in my role at Moving Edson & Area.
