Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Deceased Name: Mason C. Andrews

 NORFOLK - Mason Cooke Andrews died Friday morning at his home in Norfolk. 
Born on April 20, 1919, in Norfolk, his parents were Jean Curry Cooke and 
Charles James Andrews, M.D. 
He was a graduate of Maury High School and Princeton University. He received 
his medical training at Johns Hopkins in obstetrics and gynecology and 
returned to Hopkins for a fellowship in reproductive medicine in 1971. He 
served as a medical officer on an LST in the South Pacific during World War 
II. 
Dr. Andrews practiced obstetrics and gynecology in Norfolk from 1950 until the 
current year. Concurrently, he had an active life as a public servant, 
concentrating his efforts on both the establishment of the Eastern Virginia 
Medical School, and on nurturing the city he loved. As a member of numerous 
civic, business and charitable boards, as a planning commissioner, as a 
councilman, as vice-mayor, as mayor, and as a deeply committed private 
citizen, he persisted in pursuing his vision of a resurgent healthy city. 
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Sabine Alston Goodman Andrews; a 
brother, William Cooke Andrews; two daughters, Jean and Mason Andrews; and two 
grandsons, Ilyas Mason Khan and Alston Cooke Underwood. He was predeceased by 
his parents and a brother, C. James Andrews Jr. 
Following a private burial, there will be a celebration of his life Wednesday, 
Oct. 18, in the auditorium at Nauticus beginning at 5:30 p.m. The family asks 
that friends, patients and colleagues join them in sharing reminiscences. 
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Foundation for the Howard 
and Georgeanna Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine or any charity of 
choice. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk chapel, is handling arrangements.
