It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ralph D. Strader and Susan B. Strader.  Ralph Strader, age 84 and Susan Strader, age 83 of Immokalee, Florida passed away on 5/4/26 and 1/19/26 respectively.

Ralph and Susan were married for 64 years and were members of the Immokalee community since 1966. They were devoted Christians and members of Faith Community Church (formerly Methodist Church).

Ralph served our community as a law enforcement officer with the Florida Highway Patrol. He was the owner of R.D. Strader, Inc. building homes and constructing commercial steel buildings for the farming industry. Ralph was a Mason, Shriner and past member of the Royal Jesters.

Susan served our community as a substitute school teacher, crossing guard with CCSO, office manager and officer of R.D. Strader, Inc.  She was an interior decorator owning and operating S and S Interiors.  Susan was a member of the Eastern Star and Sorority.

Both truly valued the friendships of others made over many years especially the one who took them under her wing.

They were preceded in death by their daughter Tiffany Strader White.  They are lovingly survived by their daughter and son-in law, seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren and many nephews and nieces.  Ralph leaves behind one brother and Susan leaves behind one sister.

A joint celebration of Life service will be held on 8/8/26 at 3:00 pm at Faith Community Church of Immokalee located at 303 N. 9th Street, Immokalee, FL.

Family, friends and those touched by this devoted couple are invited to attend.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Faith Community Church of Immokalee in their memory.
