At the popular Cabragh branch queues start forming daily at 9am with many pensioners congregating earlier as they enjoy having a chat first.
According to a growing band of protesters, the closure will mean the removal of a lifeline for the elderly, chip away at community spirit and may kill off local trade.
"I don't want to travel further afield, queue longer and be served by unfamiliar faces", complained one pensioner, who has already written a letter of protest to the Post Office.
"Everyone knows each other and staff here know when someone is due to visit to collect their pension or withdraw money."
He added that losing the post office could mean losing his independence.
And it's not just older people who will feel the loss.
Jenna Mulgrew said the post office gave local people the opportunity to connect.
"Cabragh is not just a place for people to drive through. It's a thriving community which needs a post office.
"Places like this give people the chance to connect with each other."
Other customers questioned why more remote rural post offices were being kept opened.
"This post office does a real job in the community and we are going to lose an amenity we have always had", said Jack McKinley.
"My wife has had a disability for thirty years and this place has been her lifeline.
"I can't understand why post offices in other rural areas such as Greystone and Galbally are being kept opened.
"There are several housing estates in the area and a new one is at the planning stage. There are also several large businesses and a primary school nearby."

Erroneous

SDLP Councillor Anthony McGonnell, who lives nearby, has described the proposal as a 'complete non-runner'.
"It appears to me the Post Office simply stuck a pin in the map", he claimed.
Criticising the closure, Councillor McGonnell said: "This decision is based on erroneous calculations with no research into the dynamic of the area this post office serves."
The Clogher Valley representative said he has written to the Post Office outlining the case for saving the Cabragh branch.
"This closure is impossible to justify given that within a two mile radius of the branch there are more people living than in the entire villages of Castlecaulfield and Ballygawley.
"In addition there are significant house-building plans in the pipeline for that area which could see an increase of about 300 households.
"This is a busy and popular place to live and the population trend is running upwards."
Mr McGonnell added that the biggest employer in South Tyrone, the Finlay's conglomerate, used the services of the post office as well as several engineering firms.
"On top of this, there is also Cabragh Primary School, the largest rural primary school in the area."
According to the Post Office, the Cabragh branch would continue to operate 'through an outreach service'.
This could mean a mobile post office visiting at set times or a home service using a phone.
Almost 100 post office branches in Northern Ireland are to be closed as part of a UK-wide restructuring of the company.
Sheila McCann of the Post Office said closing any Post Office branch was very difficult and of concern to customers.
The Rural Community Network said it was clear that the future of rural postal services needed to be planned.
Its chief executive, Michael Hughes said: "Rural post offices provide a vital service for sections of the community, particularly for older people, those with poor literacy and numeracy skills, lone parents, those on benefits and newcomers such as the migrant population.
"The changes proposed will particularly impact on those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged and it is vital that their voices are heard during the consultation period."

Value

The post office is an amenity which is valued as much in rural as in urban communities.
Independent research found three-quarters of those surveyed in rural areas considered their post office "extremely important", 91% said it "played an important role in their community, while 59% thought it was "essential to their way of life", according to postal services watchdog Postwatch.
Dot Gibson, secretary of the National Pensioners' Convention, said: "Local shops and the post office are a lifeline. Postmasters keep tabs on them and if they do not turn up on their usual day they will make sure they're OK."
