      From Find A Grave

      Virginian-Pilot; 30 September 2005

      Melvin Leo Dudley, 85, passed away peacefully Sept. 27, 2005. He was born in Lynchburg, Va. Sept. 27, 1920, to the late Samuel and Carrie Dudley. He served his country proudly for 30 years in the United States Navy, retiring in August of 1970.

      Melvin loved baseball and was a huge Orioles fan. He enjoyed walking, sometimes carrying his beloved dog Mickey when he got too tired to continue. He also enjoyed cooking and was capable of converting recipes that were meant to feed 200 down to a manageable size.

      He was preceded in death by his loving and devoted wife of 39 years, Arleen Bryant Dudley. Left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Sheila D. Dobiliauskas and husband George of District Heights, Md. and Donna D. Dunleavy and husband Charles of Portsmouth; his three granddaughters, Katherine, Jennifer and Deborah, all of Portsmouth; a sister, Lois Fogle; brother, Lewis T. Dudley, both of Lynchburg, Va.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

      A graveside service with full military honors will be conducted Saturday at 11 a.m. in Colonial Grove Memorial Park in Virginia Beach. The family will receive friends today in Kellum Funeral Home, Bonney Road Chapel, Virginia Beach from 7 to 9 p.m.
