Obituary published on Legacy.com by Mathis Funeral Home - Medford on Oct. 1, 2025.
Sandra Lee Stradling, a cherished educator, devoted wife, loving mother, and adored grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025, at the age of 79 in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Born on July 13, 1946, in Mt. Holly, NJ, Sandra was the daughter of the late Robert and Emma White. Her life was a tapestry of dedication to her family, passion for her career, and a love for the simple joys in life.
Sandra's journey through life was marked by her commitment to nurturing the minds of the young. She spent a rewarding career as a Home Economics Teacher, imparting wisdom and life skills to students at Lenape High School, Moorestown High School, and finally at William W. Allen Middle School in Moorestown, NJ. Her natural ability to connect with her students and her innovative teaching methods left a lasting impact on the many lives she touched.
After a fulfilling career in education, Sandra seamlessly transitioned into the world of real estate. As a Real Estate Agent with Weichert Realty in
Medford, NJ, she found joy in helping families find their perfect homes. Her warm personality and keen eye for detail made her a favorite among clients. Upon retiring from teaching, she continued to excel in real estate, dedicating herself full-time to the profession she grew to love.
Sandra's life was enriched by her marriage of 51 years to her loving husband, Robert "Bruce" Stradling. Together, they shared a passion for antiquing, often embarking on adventures in search of hidden treasures. Their shared interests and unwavering support for one another stood as a testament to their deep bond. Sandra also loved quilting.
She leaves behind a legacy of love and memories with her two children, Michele Krauss and Jason Stradling (Kathleen). Sandra's spirit will continue to shine through her sister, Barbara Kozek, her cherished grandchildren, Kelsey Flexon and Audrey Stradling, and her great-granddaughter, Faith Flexon. Her memory will also be treasured by her nephews, Matthew Kozek and Jeffrey Kozek (Brittney), who will miss her dearly.
Sandra's life was not without loss, as she was predeceased by her former husband, Robert Kriney, and her beloved grandson, Tyler Flexon. Despite these sorrows, she faced life with resilience and grace, always finding strength in the love of her family and the joy of her many friendships.
