Sylvia Cable Obituary

Sylvia R. Cable of Oley passed away Sunday, March 3 at Reading Hospital and Medical Center, West Reading. A beloved wife, mother, and friend, she is best remembered as one who cared for others. Nurturing was central to her life, as reflected by her career as a nurse and later as a full-time wife and mother devoted to the care and upbringing of her family. She was married to Clark F. Cable, of Oley, for 59 years.
Sylvia was born in Reading on December 18, 1934. She was a daughter of the late Violet (Hyneman) Godfrey and Kenneth M. Meck, and a stepdaughter of Levi Godfrey and Kitty Meck. She graduated in 1955 from Reading Hospital School of Nursing and then worked at the hospital as an RN for several years. She enjoyed travel, reading, Broadway shows, ice shows, ballroom dancing and, most of all, spending time with her family.
Sylvia is survived by her husband Clark and three children: Robert S. Cable, husband of Caroline L. Cable, of Fleetwood; Kimberly A. Cable, wife of Kenneth B. Lewis, of Boston; and Sherry L. Cable of Boston. She is also survived by her sister Joan Dean, of Temple; stepsisters Betty Jacobs, of Reading, and Norma Jean Griess, of Alburtis; and stepbrother Levi Godfrey, of Delaware. She was predeceased by her stepsister, Roseanne Linette.
