Sharon Cohen, a matchless reporter who told American stories with great skill and compassion over more than four decades at The Associated Press, died Monday at her Chicago home. She was 68.
At her death, more than a year after she was diagnosed with brain cancer, Cohen was a national writer, a prestigious position she had held for 20 years. From her base in Chicago, she unreeled an array of stories about the triumphs and tragedies of people both ordinary and extraordinary.

Researchers are finding that some military families begin experiencing difficulties about four or five weeks after a family member returns home from deployment.
That research will be the subject of this year’s Thompson Lecture hosted by the Department of Communication at Western Illinois University. The lecture begins at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7. It is open to the public and can be joined via Zoom.
Leanne Knobloch, a Communication Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will deliver the presentation. She participated in the research.
“In the past ten years or so I’ve been studying how military couples communicate across the deployment cycle because it’s a way that I can use my expertise to help the men and women who serve our country so generously every day,” Knobloch said.
