Ambrose Alice Gayle Ambrose, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on October 26, 2016 at the age of 90 in Georgetown, Texas. Alice was born in Hondo on May 1, 1926 to John Emil and Willie Gayle Schlottmann. Alice graduated from Gonzales High School and later attended college in San Antonio, majoring in home economics. On November 25, 1950 she married John Emil Ambrose. They adopted two beautiful daughters, Brenda Kay and Audrey Ann, in 1960. The family lived briefly in San Antonio and then moved to Worthington, Ohio. Alice was a devoted housewife and mother who loved her faith and her family. She was very involved with her church and her daughters' schooling. She loved to garden, both vegetables and flowers, and enjoyed painting, sewing, and cooking. Her legendary chocolate chip cookies were appreciated by many, especially the Madison High School girls' soccer team and the Madison family. Alice will be remembered for her sweet disposition, beautiful smile, her quick wit, and the knowing twinkle in her eye. Alice and John retired and moved to Belton, Texas in order to be closer to their daughters and grandchildren who were living in Houston and San Antonio. Her loving husband of 46 years, John, passed away in 1996 and Alice moved to San Antonio, Texas. In 2007, Alice joined the Wesleyan community in Georgetown. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, sister Sibyl Spielman, brother Jerome David Schlottmann and brother-in-law Paul Ambrose. She is survived by her sister, Jeanette Roosevelt of Lennox, Massachusetts; a sister-in-law, Jean Schlottmann of Denver, Colorado; her oldest daughter, Brenda Kay Lozano and husband, Antonio Lozano of Houston; her daughter, Audrey Ann Ambrose of Bastrop, Texas; and two grandchildren, John Anthony Lozano and Rebecca Ann Lozano, both of Houston; and numerous nieces and nephews and friends. The family expresses their heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Wesleyan for the loving care and attention that was always given to Alice over the years. Special thanks also go to the many family and friends for the thoughts, prayers, and acts of kindness that were given to them during these last few months. Alice and her family are truly blessed for all of these gifts of love.
