Ambrosini, Olive (nee Moore), age 78, passed away peacefully July 1, 2012 in Crofton, MD. Born September 26, 1933 in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire County, England. She grew up there during World War II where her family survived the bombing of her childhood home. She attended Lausanne School in Margate, graduating in 1946. She entered nursing training at Ramsgate General Hospital but left shortly before graduating to marry the love of her life, a young handsome U.S. Airman named Harold Ambrosini. After years of traveling the world as a military wife, and having six children, they settled in suburban Maryland and added another child to the family that was so important to her. Her favorite pastime was knitting, at which she excelled. All of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a favorite piece "Nana" knit especially for them. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and loyal friend. We will always remember her love of her family and kindness to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
