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; broth-

ers 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 neph-

ews; 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 to 8 p.m.

Mrs. Cadden lay in state at Union Hill Baptist Church

Sunday, April 26, 2026, from 1 to 2 p.m.. A funeral ser-

vice was held at the 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 Alex-

ander, Billy Joe Smith, Ronnie Woods, James Head, and

Parker Dale Williams.
