Robert H. Cookson VIRGINIA BEACH - We lost a valiant warrior with the passing of Cmdr. Robert H. Cookson on Nov. 15, 2009, at the age of 86. Bob was born in Forman, N.D., March 13, 1923, and was the eldest of six children born to Mildred (Hurly) and Charles Cookson. He spent his early childhood in Forman and joined the U.S. Navy at the age of 17. Bob married Joyce Davis in 1946, and together they raised their five children at various duty stations, eventually making Virginia Beach their primary home. After a distinguished 30-year Naval career as an aviation and nuclear weapons training officer, Bob retired with the rank of commander in 1971. In 1976, Bob and Joyce returned home to Forman where they resided until Joyce's death in 1980. Bob loved his hometown and chose to remain in Forman continuing his active involvement in the community. He owned and operated the Forman Hotel on Main Street, along with the Forman Theater. He served two successful terms as mayor of Forman and distinguished himself by making numerous improvements and contributions to the community. In 1984, Bob married DeDe (Meier) Diegel, with whom he shared his life and their combined families for the past 25 years. Bob is survived by his wife, DeDe of Forman; three daughters, Jeanne (Bob) Fritsche of Edenton, N.C., Lynn (Jerry) Hunter of Williamsburg, Va., and Punta Gorda, Fla., Tammy (Joey) Odom of Virginia Beach; two sons, Bob (Karen) Cookson of Virginia Beach and Bill (Julianne) Cookson of Chesapeake; seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; two sisters, Patty Boehm and Kathleen Isensee; a half sister, Mary Emily Thomas; a half brother, Charles Cookson; their families and a host of extended family including three stepsons, Jay Diegel, Tate (Teresa) Diegel, Troy (DeAnn) Diegel; 10 stepgrandchildren; and two stepgreat-grandchildren. Preceding him in death were his parents, his first wife, two sisters, Jane Oyer and Janice Wyum, and a brother, William Cookson. Bob gave his heart and soul to Forman, N.D., and it is only fitting that he be laid to rest in the town that he called home for so many years. He will be missed by his loving family and friends as all are blessed to have been a part of his life. Our farewell salute to a true "Officer and a Gentleman."

John J. Dittrick Jr. VIRGINIA BEACH - Retired U.S. Navy Capt. John J. "Jack" Dittrick Jr., 73, died peacefully on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 2009. His strength, kindness, integrity, sense of humor and uplifting presence will be dearly missed by his family, friends, neighbors and work colleagues. Born in Elizabeth, N.J., May 3, 1936, beloved son to Dorothy and John Dittrick Sr., Jack grew up to become a distinguished Navy pilot, Navy captain, professor and vice dean, and most dearly, a beloved husband, father, uncle, cousin and friend. A Class of 1958 U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Jack pursued a naval career, while also earning his master's degree and doctorate. He and his wife Carolyn were married Dec. 29, 1962 and in 1964, they moved to Monterey, Calif., where Jack received a master's degree in operations analysis from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and subsequently taught at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., where their daughter Jill was born in 1968. Jack's naval career spanned 29 years with distinguished responsibilities including deployments as a naval aviator flying the carrier based E-1B Tracer and the E-2 Hawkeye, both Airborne Early Warning Aircraft, aboard the carriers USS Independence, USS Saratoga, USS Shangri La, USS F.D. Roosevelt and the USS America to Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean. He was the officer in charge of the E-1B detachment on the USS Roosevelt and the commanding officer of both VAW-124 on the USS America and RVAW-120 training squadron located in Norfolk. Following that, he served on several staffs with the chief of Naval Operations, CINCLANTFLT and participated in a SECNAV sponsored study examining the roles and capabilities of the U.S. Navy. In spite of earthquakes and having to master the Italian language, Jack's tour as commanding officer of the U.S. Naval Support Activity Base in Naples, Italy, was the most challenging and rewarding tour of his naval career. Jack, Carolyn and Jill returned from Italy in 1986, where Jack then served as the chief of staff at the Safety Center. He retired from the Navy in 1987, and shortly after launched his career as a visiting professor of statistics at The College of William & Mary School of Business. In 1992, Jack became the associate dean for undergraduate programs at the University of Southern California School of Business, where he initiated a mentor program to help link students to real-world experience. He was made vice dean and traveled to numerous countries to bring in foreign students to the business program. He also initiated an annual nationwide case competition held at USC. In June 2001, Jack returned to The College of William & Mary as assistant dean of the School of Business. Jack's memory will forever live in the hearts of all who knew him, especially his wife Carolyn and daughter Jill. He is also survived by cousins and sisters-in-law and their families - the Fassetts, the Lees, the Muccinos, the Dittricks, the Siessels, the Dayers and the Shillingers. Jack used to say that life's true success is family and friendship and that each person deserves to be treated with dignity. His family, many friends and neighbors loved the true pleasure of his company, his easygoing, friendly, kind warmth and easy smiles, his extraordinary sense of humor, and his steadiness in being true to his word. His life will be honored and celebrated Saturday, Dec. 5, at 1:30 p.m. at Eastern Shore Chapel Episcopal Church, 2020 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach. In lieu of flowers, donations in Memory of John J.

JOLLIE, Ludmila, peacefully embraced her Maker on November 24, 2009. Born to Konstantin and Penka Georgiev in Sofia Bulgaria, Ludmila grew up in a family that valued learning and laughter. Raised with a governess and other servants, she spoke German, English, Russian, and her native Bulgarian by the time she started high school. Independent, fearless, and inquisitive, as a young child she was picking wildflowers with her friends in the Vitosha Mountains of Bulgaria when King Boris and his retinue passed on horseback to his hunting lodge. While the other children bowed, Ludmila ran to the King and presented her bouquet, to his laughter and appreciation. These traits served her well as her family was broken up by the Second World War. Fleeing through Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany with her mother and younger brother, the 18-year-old Ludmila obtained work as a translator for the U.S. Army, thanks to her knowledge of German, Russian, and English. She helped reopen Heidelberg University and became its youngest female graduate in 1945 with a Master of Science in Microbiology. Sponsored by the American general in charge of postwar Germany's university system, Ludmila, her mother Penka and brother Stephen were processed through Ellis Island in 1948. She worked as a Research Assistant at Lehigh University, where she met her future husband, Bill Jollie. They married in 1951. In 1953, they had their first child, William; Bill was accepted to Harvard Medical School, and drafted to the Korean War. The Jollies spent two years in Utah doing classified research for the U.S. Army. Discharged in 1955, they moved to Massachusetts, pausing at Bill's family home in New Jersey to have their second child, Michael. Bill completed medical school at Harvard, and went on to a successful career in Anatomy, becoming Chairman at the Medical College of Virginia at Richmond in 1969. Ludmila participated in his research while raising two children and serving on the PTA, at Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans, La. and St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va. While she ceased her scientific work in 1967, she continued to support her husband's career in many ways, functioning as the travel agent and social planner for the American Association of Anatomy in their domestic meetings, and as tour organizer and translator for their international scientific conferences. The Jollies retired from the Medical College of Virginia in 1993 and moved to Madison to be closer to family in 2005. Ludmila loved a good party. She appreciated the quick witted social banter of accomplished scientists, musicians, and theologians, and would be found at the center of the largest crowd with the loudest laughter. As the Chairman's wife at the Medical College of Virginia, she took a special interest in the foreign medical students, assisting them in finding housing, in negotiating the regulations and customs of American society, and, if they were single, ceaselessly match making! She wanted others to share the success, love and freedom that she had discovered in the United States, and was a ceaseless advocate of the country that had saved her family and adopted her. Ludmila is survived by her beloved husband and constant companion, Bill of Madison, Wis.; brother and sister-in-law, Stephen and Georgia Georgiev in Winchester, Mass.; son and daughter-in-law, William Jollie, Joan Ouellette; and grandson, Sam of Madison, Wis.; and son, Michael Jollie of Seattle, Wash.

CORNELL-BOWEN Michelle (Shelly) Cornell-Bowen On November 25, 2009 it will have been 4 years since Shelly passed.

Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth." There are few moments in life that allow you to feel heaven on earth, but when my mind wonders to thoughts of Shelly it has to feel something like that Love Your Family |
