Joyce DENSLOW

NORFOLK - Joyce DENSLOW died in her home Dec. 23, 2010 surrounded by her friends and family. Mrs. DENSLOW died from complications stemming from pulmonary fibrosis, which she battled for several years. Mrs. DENSLOW, the daughter of the late Martin Luther and Pearl Gallop BRANCH, was born in Richmond, Va., Aug. 22, 1930. She graduated from Cathedral High School, Richmond, in 1948, and immediately accepted employment with the General Accounting Office in Washington, D.C. A year later, she returned to Richmond and obtained a position with the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. It was also the year she met her future husband, Denny, a sailor from Benton Harbor, Mich. She and Denny were married July 22, 1951 in the First Baptist Church, Elizabeth City, N.C. They established their home in Norfolk and have maintained their residence here since that time. The life of a Navy wife suited Mrs. DENSLOW perfectly. She enjoyed travel, history, and the traditions, ceremonies, and camaraderie of the Naval service. Two days after signing the contract to purchase their home, Mrs. DENSLOW's husband received temporary orders to San Diego, and she was not about to pass up the opportunity to sightsee across the United States. Naturally, while in California, she took advantage of the proximity to Mexico and visited there as well. The next opportunity came with a one-year tour of duty at Great Lakes, Ill., which provided the chance to visit many of the mid-western states and the Great Lakes area. After that came tours in New London, Conn., Boston, Charleston, S.C., and Los Angeles, all of which allowed Mrs. DENSLOW to tour the areas. She and her children moved to Holy Lock, Scotland, when the Navy opened the Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine base there in 1961. While living there, Mrs. DENSLOW toured Scotland, England, Germany and France. In 1962 she also visited Switzerland, Italy, and France. After her husband retired from the Navy, they continued to pursue their love of travel and history by visiting Russia, Puerto Rico, China, Japan and Hawaii. They also traveled extensively throughout the United States. Although health issues finally ended their travels, Mrs. DENSLOW had many wonderful memories of all the places she visited, which she particularly loved sharing with her grandchildren. Mrs. DENSLOW's other passion was swimming, which she did five or six days a week until health problems forced her to quit. Mrs. DENSLOW is survived by her husband of 59 years, Irving "Denny" DENSLOW; her son, Keith David and his wife Jane Sears DENSLOW of Norfolk; a daughter, Barbara Jo BAILEY of Bradenton, Fla.; four grandchildren, Taylor Towe DENSLOW and Dylan Ross DENSLOW of Norfolk and Shawn Michael BAILEY and Austin Paige GADBERRY of Bradenton; a sister, Geraldine SCHMIDT of Chilicothe, Ill.; and several cousins, nephews and nieces. The family would like to express appreciation to Dr. Carlo SILVA and his staff for the care, concern and professional assistance provided Mrs. DENSLOW over the past several years. We would also like to thank the hospice personnel and volunteers who aided Mrs. DENSLOW over the past few months, including but not limited to Leanne, the Rev. "Deb" Deloris and Ashley. Their assistance was greatly appreciated. The family will meet with friends from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 29, at Smith and Williams Funeral Home, 818 Norview Ave., Norfolk, VA 23509. Smith and Williams Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. The Rev. Robert CONIGLIO will conduct graveside service for Mrs. DENSLOW at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 3, at the family plot in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Labernum Avenue, Richmond.  (The Virginian-Pilot - Sunday, December 26, 2010)

AYDLETT - Julie Forbes DOUGLASS passed away peacefully at home in Aydlett, NC on Wednesday December 22, 2021. Julie was surrounded by her family who had stood by her during a nearly two year battle with Cancer.  She was born in Currituck County on May 20, 1943 to the late Lathan and Margaret Evans FORBES on the occasion of her brother Ralph’s 8th birthday. She leaves behind her husband of 59 years John L. DOUGLASS and son Jeff. She is survived by her sister JoAnn Parker GALLOP, brother Scott FORBES and wife Sharon and baby brother Tommy FORBES and wife Maria. Her memory will also live on with her niece, nephews and their families as well as her dear friends and extended family. She was predeceased by her older brother Ralph FORBES.  Julie was truly an educator. She loved the entire process. She found joy being a student and fulfillment in being the teacher. She was a 1961 graduate of J.P. Knapp High School in Currituck. She went on to study at East Carolina University and College of the Albemarle before leaving North Carolina to travel with her husband John during his 20 year career in the Air Force. Throughout their assignments she managed to study through the University of Florida and earn her B.S. from Delaware State all while working for Civil Service in the field of Accounting and maintain a family home. Their household was on the move from Anchorage, Alaska to Charleston, South Carolina, then back to Alaska then to Dover, Delaware, across the world to the Island of Guam then back to Dover again finally returning to her childhood home in Powells Point, North Carolina.  It was in Guam that she had her first teaching assignment as a Special Ed teacher. She had found her calling. Back in Dover she earned her Masters degree from the University of Delaware while teaching 4th grade. Retirement for John brought Julie to the Currituck County School system. While in the classroom she taught primarily Language Arts in the 6th grade at Central Elementary and 7th grade at J.P. Knapp Jr. High. She also taught Title I at Central and the summer Migrant program at Knapp. Her students were encouraged to put forth their very best personal efforts and set goals to reach their highest potential. You were treated as an important individual and not a random student. She found great joy in celebrating the successes of her students while under her instruction or well beyond the classroom.  During her teaching career she earned Certificates of Administration through East Carolina University and retired in 2005 from the position of Assistant Superintendent.  In that capacity she was able to impact the education of countless numbers of Currituck’s children and their families.  Retirement for Julie did not mean slowing down. Outings and shopping with her Mother-in-Law Irene DOUGLASS and Aunt Lib DONSKI kept her busy and the family entertained. She was an active member of Powells Point Christian Church deeply involved with the Ladies Ministry and supporting missions far and wide. It was her wish that any memorial donations be made to the Ladies Ministry of her church. Her passing leaves behind a void far greater than an empty pew.  These past few months brought Julie into the care of Albemarle Hospice. The care and compassion of the entire team was nothing less than extraordinary. Heather, Heather, Melanie and Pastor Scott became family to her and we cannot say thank you enough.  The family will be holding a memorial service on Monday December 27th at 2 p.m. at Powells Point Christian Church. The church is located at 197 Church Road, Harbinger, NC 27941. A time of fellowship and a dessert reception will follow. If you knew Julie then you knew her fondness for sweets, most of all chocolate.  Finally, we would like to thank Courtney and her staff at Gallop Funeral Services for taking care of Julie’s final wishes and arrangements.  Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was entrusted with arrangements.  (Gallop Funeral Home)
