Ila Sue Appleton, 74, of Florence passed away Saturday, April 30, 2022 at North Alabama Medical Center. Mrs. Appleton was born, March 23, 1948, in Moulton, to Burgess Craig and Bonnie Bradford.

When Sue wasn’t singing in church she was dancing and cheering on the Braves or the Alabama Crimson Tide in her living room with the love of her life.
Survivors include Sue’s loving husband of 58 years Tommy Appleton of Florence; one son, Chad Appleton (Deena) of Florence; six grandchildren, Wesley, Rachael, Dylan, Daniel, Kalena, and Bentley.
