Elizabeth A. Struble

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Anne Struble, known as “Beth” to many. Beth was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. Born in Paterson, New Jersey, to William and Elizabeth Riedel, Beth grew up to be a kind and compassionate individual.

Beth’s career with the United States Postal Service spanned many years, and she ultimately found a home in White Mills in 2007, where she served as Postmaster. White Mills held a special place in Beth’s heart, and she loved her work and her community. One of Beth’s greatest gifts was her ability to remember even the smallest details about those she encountered, making everyone feel seen and heard.

Her pride and joy were her eight children, Debra Palermo, James Struble, Amy Struble, Jennifer Bogart, Andrew Struble, Philip Struble, Donald Struble, and Kyrra Struble, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

As a grandmother, Beth was in her element. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she adored her role as “Nana”. Tragically, it was while driving home from spending time with her grandchildren that Beth’s life was cut short. Beth’s legacy of love and warmth will live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her passing leaves a gaping hole in the lives of her loved ones, including her father, William Riedel, and his wife, Donna; her mother, Elizabeth (Riedel) Kinter; her brother, William Riedel; and sisters, Kelly Stagg, Sherri Roberts, and Amber Lear.

She was preceded in death by her stepfather, Joseph Zittle; her sister, Rebecca Riedel; and her daughter, Laura Hopkins.

We will deeply miss Beth’s kind spirit, generous heart, and infectious smile. Her memory will continue to inspire us to live with the same love, kindness, and compassion that she embodied every day. Rest inpeace, dear Beth. You will always be in our hearts.
