Dee’s computer skills the stuff of digital legend

Dee Devereux, a former Wexford Federation president and treasurer, was nominated for a Silver Surfer award in the most recent competition.

Dee, now president of Our Lady’s Island Guild in Wexford, was one of six nominated in the ‘hobbies on the net’ category of the Age Action-run awards, which are sponsored by Google and which celebrate older people and technology.

Originally from London and an ICA member for 14 years, Dee has had a Facebook page for the past four years and bought herself a computer 13 years ago when she saw her grandson, Bobby, then seven, doing computer classes at school.
