Jean Wendy Ambrose (Gill)
June 26, 1930 - January 27, 2025
Jean Wendy Ambrose (Gill), age 94, passed away peacefully on January 27, 2025, in Sacramento, CA with her daughter, son, and daughter-in-law by her side.
Jean was born to Edward and Betsy Gill on June 26, 1930, in Prestwich, near Manchester, England. She lived near London during World War II and was often evacuated to the countryside during the Blitz. In England she met James F. Ambrose (USAF) in 1950. They were married in Tauton, Mass, on September 6, 1952, and she became a US citizen in December 1956. They had three children David Ambrose (deceased), Karen Ambrose (now Campbell) and Jonathan Ambrose. She has six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Jean traveled extensively and her visits back to England were particularly important to her. She loved days on the beach, fashion, her many cats - in fact all animals aside from snakes, and she had a terrific sense of humor. She volunteered and donated extensively to a variety of social justice, anti-war and animal rights causes. She lived a full and interesting life, including in her occupation as a psychic where she remained very busy until she retired.
A celebration of life will be held in July, near Placerville, CA. She is preceded by her husband who passed in 1983, son David in 1999, and significant others, Al and George. She will be dearly missed by her family.
