Lisa Anne (Ambrose) Polston

Lisa Anne (Ambrose) Polston, 60, lifetime Monrovia resident, passed from this life and gained her wings at 2:22 a.m., on Thursday, August 27, 2020, in St. Francis Hospital South, after courageously battling health complications for six months. She was born in Indianapolis on October 15, 1959 to Don and the late Susan (Snograss) Ambrose. Bubbly and outspoken, Lisa Anne was one of five children in the Ambrose household. A dedicated member of Monrovia’s 4-H Club, she proudly showed cattle. One of the first females to manage her beloved Monrovia Bulldog Football team, Lisa Anne went on to become a proud football mom. An active member of the PTO, she was a fierce mother hen who deeply loved her family; especially the bond with her grandson, who was her pride and joy. A familiar and friendly face in a small town, and graduating from Monrovia High School with the class of 1978, Lisa Anne was a member of the Gasburg Baptist Church, later attending the Monrovia United Methodist Church. Throughout her life, she held many positions as a cashier, working locally at Dairyland and the TA Truck Stop, the Indianapolis International Airport, and most recently for the gift shop at the VA Hospital in Indianapolis. A true fighter until the end, Lisa Anne bravely battled the valiant fight before succumbing to her illnesses. Instilled with a love of hummingbirds by her mother, she will forever be thought of when one is near. She leaves a void in the hearts of all that knew her. Along with her mother, Lisa Anne was preceded in death by her sister, Lisa Dawn Rothenberg; and brother-in-law, John Olds. She leaves behind her father, Don Ambrose (significant other, Connie Noel) of Monrovia; children, Michael, Holly, Lindsay, and Meagan Polston (boyfriend, Jordan), all of Monrovia; siblings, Dean Ambrose of Princeton, and Chris Olds of Monrovia, Gina Napolitano (husband, Rick) of Ruskin, Fl, and Mikiael Mosiman of TX; grandson, Jaxson Polston of Monrovia; best friends, Bridget Thrasher and Debbie Sichting, of Monrovia; children’s father, Michael Polston of Indianapolis; and special niece, Jessica Campbell of Speedway.
