Sydna Karen Cavender

Sydna Karen Cavender, 91, of St. Albans, was serenaded by angels as she walked through the gates of Heaven on Saturday, August 3, 2024. She was born in South Charleston to the late Sidney Kellen and Thelma Louise Turley. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Averol Lee Cavender; sister, Linda Ledford; and brothers, John Turley and Jerry Turley. Sydna retired from Thomas Hospital as an accounting clerk. She attended Maranatha Fellowship. Sydna was a wife, mother, grandmother and sister, but more than anything, she was a daughter of the King. She lived everyday of her life on this Earth for Jesus, and because of that she created a legacy left behind that will live on through generations. A solid, strong, unwavering, Christian foundation is what she built for her family from the ground up. If you were lucky enough to know her, then you were absolutely blessed. She was the closest thing to Heaven, that God put on this Earth and we were blessed enough to call her ours.
