Susan Kay Apple was born October 25, 1954 and lost her battle with cancer on Jan 1, 2024. She passed away peacefully with her family by her side at her home in Urbandale.

Sue was born to Mary and Robert Bowman in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She had three siblings Rocky, Connie and Barb. She lived and grew up in Des Moines until she moved to Dexter, Iowa in 1970. Dexter is where she met her first husband Michael Adkins and gave birth to her three sons Jason, Eric and Alex. She spent the next 19 years making a loving home dedicated to her husband and sons. Sue worked at the county attorney's office and then the Iowa Attorney General's office where she would retire in 2017.

Sue met Bill Apple in 1991 and they were married in 2007. They would spend the next 30 years making a beautiful life together. They lived at Diamondhead Lake in Dexter before building a house outside Earlham. They would eventually move to Urbandale. Sue loved gardening, cooking, decorating, traveling, camping, and spending time with her family. Anyone that knew Sue knew that she had this remarkable talent for taking the simple things and making them beautiful.

She is survived by her husband Bill, her sister Connie, her three sons Jason, Eric and Alex; three daughters-in-law Jamie, Dana and Amber. Two step sons Nick and Andy; 9 grandchildren Seth, Zoe, Elijah, Mya, Chase, Norah Adkins and Ruger Apple.

As the matriarch of this family, she will be missed deeply and will live in our hearts forever.

Per Sue’s request the family will be having a Celebration of life with just the immediate family in attendance.
