Alba Ambrose, 99, of Hendersonville, passed away peacefully, after being surrounded by family, Thursday, July 8, 2021, in Country Meadows. She had a long and treasured life.
She was born May 1, 1922, in Monongahela, a daughter of the late Ambrogio and Annunziata Biagi Smasoni.
She was a member of Corpus Christi Parish, St. Mary's Church, Cecil, and a former Christian Mother and member of St. Elizabeth Church in Lawrence. She was an avid reader, enjoyed gardening, flowers, bingo and spending time with friends and family. Her house was the hub, where everyone congregated for big dinners or to sit on the porch to talk and maybe get some of her famous bean soup.
She worked building landing crafts in Drovosburg during World War II, and at the RCA in Meadowlands, Hahn's Greenhouse and Country Meadows.
Surviving are her daughters, Elaine (David) Ruffing of Medina, Ohio, and Cynthia (Daniel) Stacko of Cecil; sons David (Peggy) Ambrose of Washington and Gary (Barbara) Ambrose of Bridgeville; 10 grandchildren, Jennifer, Erin, Brian, Meredith, Adam, Francis, Megan, Jeffrey, Lauren and Michelle; and 10 great-grandchildren, Ethan, Logan, Nathan, Coen, Josie, Isla, Emilia, Dominick, Marliana and Augustine.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Francis "Frick" Anthony Ambrose; sisters Irma Marracini and Modesta Barontini; and a brother, Vasco Smasoni.
Friends will be received from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, July 10, in Coleman-Taylor Funeral Services, 3378 Millers Run Road, Cecil, where prayers of transfer will be said at 12:30 p.m. followed by a Christian Funeral Mass at 1 p.m. in St. Mary Church, Cecil, with Father David Rombold officiating.
