Betty Sue Cadden,

Betty Sue Cadden, age 78, of Pine Mountain, passed away April 23, 2026, peacefully at home with her family after a long battle of health issues.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Garrett Cadden; her parents Luther Smith and Myrtle Head; sisters Opal Smith, Carolyn Alexander, Jessie Mae Hutchins, Linda Alonzo, and Pauline Wilson; brothers Ed Smith and Ray Smith.

 She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Norma and Doyle Alexander; grandsons Ryan and Joseph Alexander; sisters Frances Head (James) and Barbara Lynn Smith; brother Billy Joe Smith (Beverly); nieces and nephews; and a host of special friends.

 She dedicated her life to helping others. She was a paramedic since 1990. One of her hobbies was collecting bells and she had hundreds of them. Her other love was baking cakes; she probably had any kind of cake pan you could ever want. There was nothing she could not do if she set her mind to it.

 The family received friends Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Lemley Funeral Home from 5:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.. A funeral service was held Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Union Hill Baptist Church beginning at 2 p.m. with Paul Richey, Greg Corbin, and Herman Pair presiding. Burial followed in Pleasant Mount Cemetery. Asked to serve as pallbearers were Ryan Alexander, Joseph Alexander, A.J. Elrod, Tyler Williams, Jon Head, and Jeff Bryant. Honorary pallbearers were Doyle Alxeander, Billy Joe Smith, Ronnie Woods, James Head, and Parker Dale Smith.

 Lemley Funeral Home is honored to serve this family.
