Margaret Ramm

Margaret was born to Aline and William Wriedt in Brooklyn, NY. Her parents were both German immigrants who met in Brooklyn in the 1920s. She also had a brother Charles. Margaret attended New Utrecht High School. After graduation, she began her career at Union Bag in NYC. In 1952 she married Kings Point Academy graduate Theodore Ramm. They eventually settled in Washington Township in 1954 and she continued working until their daughter Barbara was born. She was deeply involved in Barbara's upbringing, serving as a Brownie and Cadet Troop leader and a class mother at her elementary school. Margaret also enrolled Barbara in ballet, baton, and art classes, fostering her creativity and growth.

Margaret returned to work after Barbara graduated, joining Sharp Electronics in Paramus. Starting as a bookkeeper in the Accounts Receivable department, she rose to become the top employee in her department, managing major accounts for the company’s largest customers.

Margaret was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church throughout her life. She participated in the Zion Women’s Guild, organizing fundraising events for church projects. Alongside her husband Ted, she was a member of the Zion Couples Club and enjoyed traveling, including a memorable trip to Europe centered around the Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany. Margaret also volunteered to play and make prizes for Bingo with Long-term medical patients at Bergen Pines

In retirement, Margaret continued her service to the church by leading both the Quilters for Missions group and the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League for over a decade. After Ted’s passing, she moved to Park Ridge and became involved with the Golden Age Club and served on her condo association board for 14 years, many as Vice President.

Margaret's later years were marked by quiet reflection with the loving support of her daughter Barbara. Her legacy of kindness and service will be cherished by all who knew her.
