Heather Struckhoff, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, and friend, passed away on September 10, 2026, at the age of 48.
Heather was born on October 2, 1977. She leaves behind a family who loved her deeply and whose lives were forever changed by her presence.
Heather is survived by her husband, Shawn Struckhoff, and their six children: Cole Struckhoff, Morgan Northcutt and her husband Nicholas, Clark Struckhoff, Alyse Struckhoff, Caleb Struckhoff, and Esther Struckhoff. She was also a beloved grandmother to Amia and Nyla Northcutt, who brought her immeasurable joy.
She is survived by her mother, Pam Estell, and by her extended family Diane Cole; her siblings Jason Tosie and Lori Tosie, and son Gavin Tosie; Corey Cole and his sons Augustus and Wyatt Cole; Kenny Tosie; Rachel Tosie and daughters Morgan Harwell, Peyton, and Kylee Tosie; Kelly Flores and her husband Enrique, and their sons Tristan Gill and his son Oliver Gill, and Ethan Flores.
Heather was preceded in death by her father, Gregory Cole; her grandparents Claude Cole Juanita Cole; Clinton and Marjorie Estell; and Jack and Gloria McKean.
Heather’s greatest legacy is the love she gave to her family. She loved deeply, and the memories she created with her husband, children, grandchildren, and family will remain treasured forever. Her presence brought love and meaning to the lives of those around her, and the imprint she left on her family will never fade.
Heather’s faith gives her family comfort in knowing that this goodbye is not forever. She is now at peace in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, free from pain and suffering. While her family grieves the tremendous loss of her earthly presence, they hold firmly to the promise of eternal life and look forward to the day when they will be reunited with her in Heaven.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
And:
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” — Revelation 21:4
Heather is now resting in the arms of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is home.
She will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever carried in the hearts of those who knew her.
Until we meet again in Heaven.
