New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 1, after a short stay at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey, for an undisclosed medical condition. Debra L. Wentz, Ph.D., president and CEO of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies (NJAMHAA), shared the following statement on the passing of Lt. Gov. Oliver: "As president and CEO of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, and on a personal level, I am truly devastated upon hearing of the tragic loss of New Jersey's beloved lieutenant governor and Department of Community Affairs commissioner, the Honorable Sheila Y. Oliver, whose contributions to vulnerable populations throughout her tenure in the administration, legislature and in health care were immense, and improved the lives of tens of thousands of New Jerseyans. Having been a trailblazer as the first African American woman to serve as [New Jersey state] Assembly Speaker and to hold statewide elected office, I was proud and humbled to have known her. Despite the heights she reached, she remained accessible to all. Holding Lt. Gov. Oliver in the highest esteem, NJAMHAA awarded her the State Leader of the Year Award at its 2022 spring conference. Her stellar achievements in public service and other endeavors certainly left the world a better place." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
