Georgia-Anna Ambrosino
Georgia-Anna Ambrosino, age 84, of Gloversville, passed away on Sunday
February 8, 2009 at the Nathan Littauer Hospital, after a long illness.
She was born September 20, 1924 in Gloversville, a daughter to the late
Michael Andrews and Ethel Pickney Andrews.
Mrs. Ambrosino was a homemaker.
She attended the former Christian Science Church.
My aunt Georgia-Anna was a person with strong convictions and had the ability to stay the course by continuing to move forward. She strongly believed in the adage of "mind over matter". She loved to read, sketch caricatures and the human form, and was an avid writer and poet. She was proud of her Greek heritage and was quick to point out that the family name was really Andrionopolis and that her father Michael had, in order to "Americanize", changed it to Andrews when he realized his dream of coming to the United States.
Georgia-Anna, intern, dreamed of traveling to Greece one day. Started by her Gold Star Mother Ethel, Georgia-Anna continued to carry the torch, via a letter writing campaign which endeavored to discover the whereabouts of her brother Charles. Charles was the first local area soldier that went missing in action during the Korean War. She never gave up hope that one day he would be found.
Despite recent events that left her in a precarious situation, she always looked forward to returning home and wanted to raise awareness to the rampant issue of crime against the elderly.
In lieu of flowers, she asked donations be made to such entities as the Center for Problem–Oriented policing at
www.pocenter.org or any entity one feels moved to give.
Survivors include her husband John Ambrosino whom she married June 30, 1947; two brothers Joseph Andrews and Michael Andrews both of Gloversville; one sister Lena Boyd of Mayfield; several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Funeral services will be conducted on Wednesday at 1:00 P.M. at the A.G. Cole Funeral Home Inc. 215 East Main Street, Johnstown. The Rev. Dr. R.W. Williams will preside.
Friends and family may call today from 4 to 7 p.m. at the funeral home.
Interment will be in Prospect Hill Cemetery, Gloversville.
Memorial contributions may be made in Georgia-Anna's memory to the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing at www.popcenter.org or any entity that one feels moved to give.
