Jim and Corky were stationed in Maine, Alabama, Texas, California, Bermuda, Hawaii and Florida, where they eventually settled. After teaching she ran the East Coast office of Barnette Industries, which enabled them to live their best life in both Shalimar and Cape Cod.
She had a quick wit and could make any room she happened to be in more colorful. She was best known for her entertaining skills, flamboyant prints, her organization, perfect penmanship and her love of football and the Red Sox. She cherished her many friendships and was happiest surrounded by her four beloved grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband of 59 years, James B. Studley — No. 1 Stud; son, Jeffrey L. Studley, and his fiancé, Suzanne Morris, of Shalimar; daughter and her husband, Elizabeth S. Bentley and Nigel K. Bentley of Acton and East Orleans, Massachusetts; four grandchildren: Blake K. Bentley, Sarah L. Bentley, Lincoln B. Studley and Corbin J. Studley; her loving sister, Mrs. Nicholas ‘Sue’ Staropoli of Portland, Oregon; and four nieces and a nephew.
