Born in Chicago, Illinois, Ambrose graduated from Saint Xavier University in Chicago. She was a Democratic member of the Council of the District of Columbia, representing Ward 6, from 1997 to 2007. She retired from the DC Council after two terms to focus on her illness, which had been misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis. After retiring, she helped with the mayoral campaign of David Catania and the campaign for an at-large council seat by David Grosso, a former staff person.[1] She died on April 4, 2017 at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C.[2][1]
