Obituary for Helen Ogden (Schramm)
WATERVLIET – Helen Schramm Ogden, 92, died peacefully Tuesday evening, September 3, 2019 at the Van Rensselaer Manor. Born in Albany on March 28, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Genevieve Betters Schramm.

She was employed as a bank teller by the National Commercial Bank & Trust Company in Albany. She became a homemaker after her precious daughter Janelle was born.
She was a communicant of the former St. Patrick’s Church in Watervliet. Helen enjoyed her home, vacations to Wildwood and Atlantic City, NJ, baking and sharing her sweets and attending NY Yankee games at various stadiums with her husband Jack.
Helen loved to shop and enjoyed shopping excursions on Tuesdays with her late and dear friend Doreen Iachetta and Saturday shopping trips with her husband Jack followed by lunch at Valle’s Steakhouse or Mac’s Seafood. Her shopping motto was “You can never have too many sweaters!”
