Shirley Ann Studer

Shirley was born April 12, 1936, in Somerset, Ohio, to the late John Howard and Marjorie Yvette (Swick) Patterson. She retired from United Telephone and later from the Lazarus Cafe`. Shirley had eight children, which included 2 sets of twins, whom she loved very much and eleven grandchildren who adored her. She loved to travel, especially to destinations with beaches and sunshine. Most recently, she took an extended train trip to the Pacific coast and up to Alaska to board a boat to whale watch with her special friend and companion, Jim Lowe of Loudonville. She was an avid bowler in her younger years, and always spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking fabulous meals large enough to feed a small army.

Shirley is survived by four daughters, Christina (late Kenny) Studer, Anita (late Jack) Fugett, Tonya (Mark) Prater and Wendy (Dave) Myers; two sons, John Myers and George Myers; eleven grandchildren, Veronica Fugett, Melissa Cole, Christina Beauford, Nicholas McGlothlin, Tabitha McGlothlin, Jessi Iiams, Quinton Iiams, Houston Richards, Jordan Richards, Dalton Richards and Dylan Richards; seventeen great-grandchildren; five siblings, Scott (Sheila) Patterson, Norman (Dorothy) Patterson, Bob (Barb) Patterson, Jane (John) Talbot, Judy (Barry) First; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband of over 40 years, Eugene Studer; daughter, Mendy Richards; son, Patrick Myers; sister, Norma Molnar; and brothers, Don, John, Joe, Bill and Tom Patterson.

There will be no graveside services. Shirley's wishes were to be cremated but a ceremony to celebrate her life and beautiful soul will be posted at a future date. The Ontario Home of Wappner Funeral Directors is honored to serve the family.
