Carole Ogram Obituary

Wenonah, N.J.
With great sadness and bittersweet gratitude, the family of Carole Ogram, age 72, announce the passing of our kind and caring wife, sister, aunt, and friend. Carole is survived by her husband, Charlie (Charles) Ogram and sister, Barbara Raines, both of whom she helped tirelessly in times of medical need. Carole was predeceased by her parents, Sylvia and Coleman Raines and sister, Marilou (Hersh) Kaubin.
Carole was an ever-loving aunt to three nephews, David (Cristina) Kaubin, Samuel (Katherine) Kaubin and Coleman Zachary (Meagan) Raines, whom she treated as generously as she would her own. She was a wonderful and giving grand aunt to Cole, Leah, Cooper, Avery, Madeline Lou, Cameron, and newborn Callie.
Carole had a lifelong career in communications at Bell Atlantic, later Verizon. She was an avid knitter and voracious reader, both of which she thoroughly enjoyed.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to your favorite charities are welcomed or donations to The Alzheimer's Association, act.alz.org, in tribute and would be most appreciated to acknowledge her closest loved one and all individuals and caretakers who suffer from this most difficult disease.
Carole has requested interment services be private with immediate family at Parkview Cemetery in Medford, New Jersey, where she can rest close to her grand nieces and nephews. Memories & condolences can be shared at www.smithfhmantua.com.
