Obituary For Melinda Schriver
Schriver, Melinda, 45, of Galloway, It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving mother, Melinda Schriver, on February 11, 2024. Born on September 8, 1978, in Vineland, she was a lifelong resident of Galloway. Melinda graduated from Absegami High School in 1997 and Atlantic Cape Community College where she studied business administration. Melinda worked as a Borgata Babe for many years and most recently worked at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino as a table games dealer since their opening day in 2018.
Melinda was a beautiful, fun-loving, loyal woman who loved nothing more than to see those around her happy. She enjoyed shopping, going to the beach, listening to music, laying by the pool, traveling, going to happy hour with her girls, going to concerts, and of course getting her massages, hair and nails done. She always captured the moment by taking pictures and videos. Above all else, what she loved most was spending time with her daughters, grandchildren, and family.
She is predeceased by her brother, Robert Schriver Jr.; and her precious baby boy, DeVante Schriver (forever 23). She is survived by her daughters, Nyasia Schriver and Naomi Chike-obi; parents, Robert and Anne Schriver; sister, Alice Luker; grandchildren, Hermione Hunter, Cameron Hunter Jr., Isabel Schriver and Jaidyn Rodriguez; daughter-in-law, Natalia Rodriguez; and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
One of the highlights of Melinda’s life was being the owner and operator of Naomi’s Café. Naomi’s was a family-based establishment to gather for all occasions where the food was second to none. Melinda touched many lives through her love and devotion of her restaurant, making new friends, helping people in tough times, and serving the community by donating meals to First Responders when the Covid-19 pandemic began.
Those who knew Melinda will always remember her smile, love, generous heart, and selflessness. She always knew how to make anyone laugh and bring a smile to their face. She had a heart of gold and would drop anything to be there for anyone in need. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
A celebration of life will take place from 3PM to 7 PM, with a service at 6PM on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at Parsels Funeral Home, 324 New Jersey Avenue, Absecon, NJ 08201. For online condolences, please visit www.parselsfh.com.
