Don and Laurie Marple will celebrate 50 years of marriage on April 24.
They were married on April 24, 1976, at Newcomb Presbyterian Church in Davenport. Over the past five decades, they have built a life rooted in love, family, and community.
Don enjoyed a successful career as a Realtor, serving families throughout the Quad Cities area, while Laurie dedicated her career to education as a teacher with the Davenport Community School District before they both retired.
They are the proud parents of two sons, Dustin Marple and Nathan (Jennifer) Marple, and the loving grandparents of LCpl Grayson Marple, United States Marine Corps, and Sawyer Jack Marple.
Don and Laurie cherish time spent going to Iowa women’s basketball games, playing card games with family, attending card club gatherings, and enjoying lunches with their beloved “Rookies” group.
In honor of this golden milestone, their children will host an anniversary celebration on April 25, at Keppy Hall, Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. Friends and family are warmly invited to stop by anytime between 3-7:30 p.m. to honor and celebrate their 50 wonderful years of marriage.
Your love and friendship is the only gift they request.
