Maria (Luningning) Ambrocio

Maria Luningning Sta. Maria-Ambrocio, a 58-year-old oncology nurse at Bayonne Medical Center, was warmly remembered Sunday as an “angel sent by God” and a devoted mother. She died late Saturday, October 9, 2021, after she was taken off life support at Bellevue Hospital surrounded by her husband, brother, families and best friends, Norma and Emilia.

Maria was educated in the Wesleyan University of the Philippines in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
Ning Ning was a very loving, kind, sweet and religious person. She loves dancing, singing, and never left her house without her selfie stick. Her coworkers described her as a very dedicated, passionate, and a very reliable nurse, especially during the heights of Covid-19. She always volunteered to help others either at work, church or at Bayonne community.
