Glenna Ambridge. Peacefully at Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital on July 5, 2015, Glenna Mary Irene (Wells) Ambridge at the age of 77 of Tillsonburg, Ontario (formerly from Thunder Bay) began her new journey. She was a kind and gentle soul, who gave much more than she received in return. She had the inherent ability to strike up conversations with strangers and make them feel like long lost friends, which many became. Always the caregiver, dispensing help to those in distress, soothing those in pain and most importantly shepherding new life into the world. Never one for the limelight, but she was forever providing encouragement, joy and love. Our quiet champion, who will be eternally celebrated. Survived by her children, Christopher Ambridge and his son's Keaton and Javin of Toronto, Kathy Taylor and her son Matthew of Niagara Falls, and Geoffrey Ambridge and his wife Christine of Port Perry. Predeceased by her loving husband David L. Ambridge, mother Mary Irene Whiffen, and her grandson Joshua Taylor. Glenna graduated from Ottawa Civic Hospital School of Nursing and then embarked on a 40 year career in Obstetrics . She enjoyed helping people, was active volunteering in the community and loved to play cards with her friends. Cremation has taken place. A private family service will be on Saturday, July 11, 2015. Ostranders Funeral Home, 43 Bidwell Street, Tillsonburg, Ontario entrusted with arrangements. For Glenna, any memorial donations (payable by cheque) may be made to Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital or The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
