Sydney Owens Shealy, 37, of Prosperity, died Wednesday, November 21, 2018 at Lexington Medical Center.

To know Sydney was to love her. She was a carefree, quiet and unassuming woman with a gentle and serving spirit. Her easy-going personality and million-dollar smile warmed many hearts. Not only did she share her love with family and friends, she also shared it with animals.
