Helen A. Schiraldi

Jan 31, 1932 — Jul 28, 2026

Helen A. Schiraldi, 94, of Woodbury Heights, NJ, passed away on July 28, 2026.

A proud graduate of St. Joseph's High School in Camden, Helen remained deeply connected to her faith throughout her life. She was a devoted member of St. Joseph's Polish Church in Camden, and Infant Jesus Parish at St. Margaret’s Church in Woodbury Heights, where she found friendship, comfort, and a strong sense of community.

Helen dedicated 25 years of faithful service to the City of Camden Department of Welfare, where she worked as the Supervisor of Bookkeeping. Known for her diligence, integrity, and attention to detail, she retired in 1992 after a fulfilling career serving the residents of Camden.

Following her retirement, Helen remained active in her community. She faithfully served as Treasurer of the St. Margaret's Senior Citizen Club, where she enjoyed the companionship of many dear friends and generously gave her time and talents.

She found great joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved traveling, especially taking bus trips to explore new places and spend time with friends. A devoted collector of angels, her home reflected the warmth, faith, and hope they symbolized. Her beautiful angel collection brought her comfort and happiness and served as a reminder of the kindness and grace she shared with others.

Above all, Helen will be remembered for her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, generous heart, and the love she extended to her family and friends.

She is survived by her children, Nicholas (Diana) Schiraldi, Camille (Scott) Schiraldi, Ann (Timothy) Darnall and her daughter in law, Jeanette Schiraldi; 8 loving grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her extended family and dear friends.

Helen is predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Sofia Budka; her husband Donato M. Sr., son, Donato M. Jr., and her brother Felix.
