Andrea J. Oliveri, age 37 of Pompton Plains and formerly of Wayne , died on Friday February 20, 2009 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York . Her family and friends were at her side when she passed. She had fought a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Andrea lived her entire childhood in Wayne and graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the class of ’89. She later graduated from Rutgers University in 1993 with a Bachelors Degree. After graduating college, she lived briefly in Lincoln Park , Morristown , Pine Brook from 2002 – 2008 and then moved to Pompton Plains in 2008.
Andrea was employed with Deloitte Tax LLP in Parsippany for eight years as Manager in the R&D Tax Service Group. She fully embraced the family-like culture that prevailed at Deloitte, was manager of their soccer team, and considered many there as dear friends and extended family, not just coworkers.
Andrea was extremely fortunate to have gathered so many close friends and extended family throughout her entire life. From elementary school, through and after college and her professional career, she maintained a large foundation of loved ones that were extremely important and dear to her heart. This group of people have all become so close to her that it’s difficult to explain but easy to understand, if you knew Andrea.
Andrea’s family is grateful and has been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and caring by all who’ve supported Andrea, visited her in the hospital, and who have simply been there for her throughout her life and the duration of her illness. All the kindness that her friends generously offered, and the help extended to Andrea and her family will always be appreciated and remembered.
Andrea was an extremely giving person and a selfless volunteer with many animal protection groups, especially those caring for cats. She was actively involved with the West Orange Animal Shelter and particularly dear to her was “Smitten by Kittens” of Morristown , dedicated to care and adoption. She volunteered often at Petsmart on adoption days to help find suitable homes for kittens. She also helped to build outdoor winter shelters and feeding areas for feral cats.
Andrea worked tirelessly for many cancer related organizations as well, including the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Making Strides/The American Cancer Society and the Young Survivors Coalition. On a recent drive, her team helped to raise nearly $14,000 for cancer research; a testament to her willingness and desire to help others. Andrea was excited to have recently been invited to appear as an inspirational speaker at a conference of cancer survivors. The engagement was scheduled for this coming spring.
Andrea is survived by her loving parents; Joseph and Janice Oliveri of Wayne, her dear brother; Joseph Oliveri and his wife Suzanne of Danbury, CT, two nephews; Nicholas and Matthew Oliveri and one niece; Sophia Oliveri, all of Danbury, CT, as well as many loving friends, extended family and coworkers. We would also be remiss not to mention her two cats, Mugsy and Louie, whom she loved and cared for so much.
As expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Andrea’s name to the American Cancer Society, 20 Mercer Street , Hackensack , NJ 07601 , www.cancer.org, or to Smitten By Kittens, P.O. Box 324 , Morristown , N.J. 07963 , www.smittenbykittens.com.
