Helga N Bowden

April 6, 1933 — June 21, 2018

Helga N. Bowden passed away peacefully on June 21, in the company of her son and daughter. Helga was born in Cologne, Germany in 1933. At the age of 16, she, her brother and her mother moved to the United States. She lived in Bergen County for most of her life, settling in Bogota, where she spent over 60 years. During this time she raised her two children, Patricia and George, and co-owned Main Pharmacy in Bogota with her husband George. She moved to the Good Samaritan Society, a retirement community in Crossville,TN in April 2017. Helga will always be remembered for her positive attitude and her love for life. Wherever she went, she would always greet people with a warm smile, which would often lead to friendly conversation. Helga was pre-deceased by her husband George V. Bowden (2013) and is survived by her daughter Patricia A. Domney and her husband Ken Domney and their son Matthew as well as her son George K. Bowden, his wife Joanne D Bowden and their children, Emily and Scott.  The family will gather at Petrik Funeral Home, 140 Palisade Avenue, Bogota on July 14, at 10:30am, where a Memorial Service will take place at 11. Entombment will follow at Garden of Memories Mausoleum, Washington Township. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in her name. (stjude.org)
