Obituary for Lehman Penn Ambrose, Jr.

Lehman Penn Ambrose, Jr., age 73, of Creswell, NC passed away at his home on Thursday afternoon November 2, 2023.


Lehman was born in Tyrrell County, NC on March 16, 1950.  He grew up in Creswell, NC.  A graduate of Creswell High School, he worked as a self-employed farmer all his life, growing crops like corn, wheat and soybeans.


Known as "Brother" to many, he loved the outdoors and was an avid bear hunter, often remarking of the time he "grinned down" a bear.  He enjoyed running dogs and even when he was unable to get out of the truck, he would still ride in the woods and listen to the dogs, which was music to his ears.  He was a member of the Newland Hunting Club and the Northern Dismal Hunting Club.


Lehman is survived by his loving and dedicated wife of 52 years, Mary Brickhouse Ambrose. Their two daughters, Melissa Rose and husband Johnny of Greenville, NC and Lynn Knapp and husband Billy of Jacksonville, NC.  Four grandchildren, Cody Ambrose, Madison Rose, Kyler Holmes, and Emma Rose. One Great grandson, Jase Ambrose.  Brothers Ronald Ambrose (wife Janet) and Michael Ambrose (wife Kay); sister-in-law, Yvonne Ambrose, all of Creswell, NC and many nieces and nephews.


He was preceded in death by his parents, Lehman Penn Ambrose, Sr. and Caddie Comstock Ambrose, brother, Bobby Ambrose and sister Alice Bowen.


Funeral service will be held Sunday, November 5, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Maitland Funeral Home, Creswell, NC with Reverend Lee Wise officiating. Graveside service will follow at Mount Hermon Methodist Church.  The family will receive friends on Sunday, November 5, 2023 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at Maitland Funeral Home and other times at the residence.


Arrangements are by Maitland Funeral Home, Creswell.
