Sue Hale Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by The Cremation Society of Iowa - Des Moines on Mar. 12, 2026.
Sue Hale, age 57, was born on September 11, 1968, in Des Moines, Iowa, and passed away on January 28, 2026, in Des Moines, Iowa.

Sue was known for her love of family and her generous heart. She especially cherished spending time with her grandchildren, taking them to the park and out for ice cream. Sue also enjoyed going on car rides with her beloved dog, Buzz. She was rarely one to stay at home and was always willing to help friends in need, even when she herself had little to give. Her kindness and willingness to support others will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Sue is survived by her daughter, Ashley Lincoln; four grandchildren, Seith, Jacqueline, Zavyn, and Aubrianna; and her brother, Robert Rogers.

She was preceded in death by her late husband, William Hale, and her mother, Linda Rogers.

A celebration of Sue's life will be held at a later date.
