Bruce Noel Ambrose, age 84, of Upper St. Clair, passed away peacefully on February 9, 2026.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Bruce was the beloved son of the late Wilma and Frank Ambrose.
He was the devoted husband of 57 years to Carol Ambrose; a loving father to Allison (Chris Stefano) Ambrose, Braden Ambrose, and David Ambrose; and a proud and adoring Grampap to Olivia (Jonah) Seymour, Ella Noto, Mason Ambrose, and Preston Ambrose. He is also survived by many cherished nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Bruce was preceded in death by his sister, Barbara Marino.
Bruce was an avid golfer and took great pride in his accomplishments on the course. He scored his first hole-in-one on the 6th hole at Churchill Valley Country Club in October of 1974, the longest hole ever made by a left-hander at that time, and it was the first of many holes-in-one throughout his life. A lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Bruce was a season ticket holder for decades and rarely missed a game. He was also a devoted animal lover with a generous heart.
Above all, Bruce adored his four grandchildren and spoiled them endlessly. His kindness, humor, and love for family will be remembered always. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
