Oliver Tribute: Louis Greenwald

Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald (D-Voorhees) released the following statement on the death of Lieutenant Gov. Sheila Oliver:

“I am deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver. Sheila was a compassionate and accomplished legislator. For so many years she devoted her life to public service to improve the lives of all New Jerseyans. For over a decade, I was fortunate enough to work with Sheila in the General Assembly during her time as an Assemblywoman, and her eventual rise to Speaker of the General Assembly.

Sheila will be remembered as a pioneer in public service paving the way for so many women, but most of all I will remember her for the thoughtful compassion with which she approached the legislative process. I extend my deepest condolences to Sheila’s family and all who loved and treasured her.”
