Natalie Marie Studer

Natalie Marie Studer, age 64, of Allison Park, passed away peacefully surrounded by her adoring family after a courageous battle with cancer on May 26, 2025. Born February 16, 1961, in Pittsburgh, PA, she was the daughter of the late David Crouse and Georgia Crouse Holland.
Natalie worked in customer service in the banking industry, where she was known for her helpfulness and genuine care for clients. An avid gardener, she found peace and solace in the beauty of nature. Her sense of style was unmatched, earning her the title of a true "fashionista". Natalie's love for cooking was evident in the delightful meals she prepared, often bringing family and friends together around the dinner table. The thrill of a good game at the casino was a joy for Natalie, as was the simple pleasure of losing herself in a good book. Above all, Natalie valued her family. The bonds she shared with her loved ones were unbreakable, and the time spent with them she treasured.
Natalie was the beloved wife of Ron Studer Sr., with whom she shared 46 wonderful years of marriage; loving mother of Tera Holtgraver and Ron (Sara) Studer Jr.; and devoted grandma to Ryan, Max, and Blake, they were her greatest joys. Her love for them was boundless, and she showered them with affection, creating memories that will be treasured forever. She was also a loving sister to Lisa (Sam) Juliano and Davie (Pauline) Crouse.
In her final weeks, Natalie was blessed with the unwavering support of her three amazing sister-in-laws, affectionately known as "The Golden Girls." Their presence brought peace, happiness, support, and love.
Throughout her battle, the outpouring of visits, encouragement, cleaning and home-cooked meals from loved ones provided her with strength and joy.
Natalie's resilient spirit and the constant LOVE she received allowed her to face her challenges with grace, extending her time with us beyond expectation.
