Deborah J. Cipale

Deborah J. Cipale, 59, passed away on November 30, 2023, at UnityPoint Methodist Hospital.
Deborah was born on May 16, 1964, in Webster City, Iowa to John and Donna (Andrew) Larson. She married Angelo R. Cipale in 1994. She continued her education and earned her Doctorate. She worked as a Nursing Resource Lab Coordinator at DMACC from 2005-2021. In 2022 she became the Assistant Professor of Nursing at Upper Iowa University and worked there until her passing.
She enjoyed reading, helping people, and family gatherings. Her favorite holiday was Thanksgiving because it was a time for the family and friends to gather. She was the humblest person you would ever meet and did so many good things for people that nobody ever knew about.
Deborah is survived by her husband of 29 years, Angelo R. Cipale; son, Angelo J. Cipale; siblings, Nicolette (Richard) Stubberud and Daniel (Kelly) Larson; father, John Larson; fur babies, Chester, Moose, and Meatball; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Donna Larson; father-in-law, Angelo F. Cipale; niece and nephew, Hannah and Noah Stubberud.
A private visitation will be held at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street, Des Moines, Iowa.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Deborah.
