Carol Ambrosini Obituary
Carol Ann Paterno Ambrosini, age 81, of Trumbull, beloved wife of former Police Chief Theodore Ambrosini, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, August 7th, 2021. Born on September 26th, 1939, she was the daughter of the late Eva D'Amicol Crosby and Joseph "Kip" Paterno.
Before her retirement, Mrs. Ambrosini was a jeweler, having worked at both A.J. Klein Jewelers and Lafayette Jewelers. She also worked in the records department at Trumbull Police Headquarters. Carol was an active member of St. Theresa's Church and loved giving her time to charities, especially The Merton House, located in the Bridgeport 'Hollow Neighborhood' where she grew up. A people person, she was always there to lend an ear or a hand to not only her friends, but all in need she met on her path. Carol loved to travel, venturing from Acapulco, Mexico to Hawaii, forming many enduring friendships along the way. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who will be truly missed by all who knew her.
Carol is survived by her daughter Lory Ambrosini; son Joseph Ambrosini and his wife Bernadette; cherished grandchildren Joseph Ambrosini Jr., Christina Ambrosini, Gina Ambrosini and her partner Anthony Marsillio; sister-in-law Marie DeBiase; her lifelong friend Carol Balboni; cousins Constance Scinto, Joseph D'Amicol and Thomas Paterno as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Beverly Paterno Hatfield.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, continuing Carol's lifelong support of their efforts.
Friends are invited to attend the funeral on Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. DIRECTLY in St. Theresa Church, 5301 Main St., Trumbull with a Mass of Christian Burial. Entombment will follow in St. Michael Cemetery, Stratford. Arrangement entrusted to the Parente-Lauro Funeral Home, 559 Washington Ave., Bridgeport.
