Who's Who 2012 - Deb Maevers

Monday, March 19, 2012

Deb Maevers was told once to use what you have to help who you can every day. She does just that, whether it's helping a customer find a vintage piece to redecorate their living room or helping raise money for victims of domestic violence. Maevers is owner Pastimes Antiques in Cape Girardeau as well as the founder and executive director of the VintageNOW Fashion Show, an annual event benefiting the Safe House for Women. After graduating from Jackson High School, Maevers went to modeling school, but says she quickly learned she was better helping out behind the scenes than walking down the runway. Through the years she worked in women's fashion and interior design. She's worked as a set decorations and wardrobe consultant for several projects, including a music video shoot in Savannah, Ga. Maevers and her husband of 33 years Jim have five grown children, Kyleigh Baliva, Landon Maevers, Trey Maevers, Hailey Maevers and AJ Maevers and five grandchildren.
