Jeanne D'Ambly Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 13, 2013.

d'Ambly, Jeanne Perot (12/15/20-4/12/13)

Born in Philadelphia to Clara Cooper Stratton Perot d'Ambly and Augustus Ernest d'Ambly III. Professional in the visual arts, she interrupted her studies at Philadelphia's Museum School of Art to fly as a WASP, Class43-W-4 and 5 with the 318th A.A.F.F.T.D. in WWII. Subsequent service with the US Air Force during the Korean War included assignments in public relations and intelligence. Discharged from the military in the rank of captain, she continued federal services as a civilian air traffic control specialist stationed at Albuquerque, El Paso, Yuma, Palmdale terminal and for ten years at Los Angeles LAX, retiring from the Federal Aviation Administration in 1983. In addition to her career in the aviation field, she worked as a commercial artist, model, welder, charter pilot and guest house operator. She had a lifetime interest in art and accomplished many works in multi media. She was a resident of Leisure World in Seal Beach, California since 1977. In recent years at Long Beach she has devoted time to bike riding and competitive swimming, winning several gold medals; other pastimes included studies at Golden West College. She is survived by her nephews John P. d'Ambly and his wife Karen of Hackettstown, New Jersey and Jeffrey T. d'Ambly and his wife Linda of Raynham Massachusetts and a cousin, Davis d'Ambly of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.


A graveside service will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, April 17th at Pacific View Memorial Park.
