Deborah L. Oliver, 56, of Ames died Monday, Jan. 2, in her home of complications of cancer. A memorial service will be at 1:30 p.m. Saturday Jan. 7, at Adams Funeral Home in Ames.

Deb was born in Ithaca, N.Y., the daughter of Donald and Lucile Eastman, who preceded her in death. She attended college in Syracuse, N.Y., where she met and married her husband, David Oliver.
