Ambrose James Bergeron, born November 13, 1935, in Lambert Township, Red Lake County, Minnesota. The son of Louis and Roselva (Gibeau) Bergeron, Ambrose grew up on the family farm near Oklee, Minnesota. He attended country school and was baptized and confirmed at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Oklee. For much of his early life, Ambrose worked on the family farm before embarking on a new chapter at the age of 40 as a janitor at Oklee High School. He dedicated 24 years to the school before retiring.
Ambrose found joy in simple pleasures. He enjoyed deer hunting and fishing, cherished visits with friends at the casino, and was a regular at the Oklee Café for breakfast. His warm presence and easygoing nature will be fondly remembered by those who knew him.
He is survived by his sister Yvonne McElmury of Winona, Minnesota; several nieces and nephews; and his favorite cousin Jo Lambert. Ambrose was preceded in death by his parents, Louis and Roselva Bergeron, as well as his siblings Henry Bergeron, Sydney Bergeron, George Bergeron, Genevieve Bergeron, Delia Bergeron, Theresa Bergeron, and Margaret Bergeron.
May Ambrose’s memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
