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.

    I remember when Melinda bought a bunch of kids/adults bathing suits from me. I told her I would drop them off at her house if she gave me the address. After inserting the address into my GPS, it took me directly in front of a trash dumpster. So I got on the phone and called her, I said, I got out of my car and knocked, no one answered. She laughed so hard and I laughed with her. She said, for some reason the GPS did that to everyone. She directed me to the right address and I dropped them off. She then took all those bathing suits and proceeded to donate them to good will. That's the kind of caring person she was. RIP "trouble" that's a nickname we shared with each other.

    Melinda brought so much joy and happiness into the world, and her absence will be deeply felt. I am going to miss all our talks stories and laughs behind the chair while doing her hair . I feel like I know you all cause she always spoke about her amazing family and friends . I'm thinking of you all and sending my love.

We Offer the Book of Memories™

Parsels Funeral Home offers what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories™. Created by an award-winning team of web developers and designers while being led by a funeral professional with over 25 years of experience, this online memorial is intended to provide your family with a permanent place to pay tribute to your loved one.

Far more than a traditional obituary—which is usually published only once and has no interactivity at all—the Book of Memories™ Memorial Website is a fully interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

You’ll be able to invite others to visit the online memorial, where they can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt messages of condolence, send a floral tribute to the funeral, or make a charitable donation in memory of your loved one. And the built-in social media integration means they can then “spread the word” about their addition to your loved one’s Book of Memories™ using Facebook and Twitter.

We offer the families we serve a Book of Memories™ memorial website with the intention that it gives you a measure of solace and comfort during the coming months. To arrange for a Book of Memories® memorial website for your loved one, contact us today.
