New Jersey Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver, the first black woman to serve as speaker of the state Assembly, died Tuesday after being hospitalized with an undisclosed illness.
Oliver, 71, was serving as acting governor this week while Gov. Phil Murphy was vacationing in Italy.
She was admitted to Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston on Monday, Murphy’s office announced.
Oliver, a Democrat from Essex County, rose to the post of Assembly speaker in 2010 before losing the seat to Vincent Pietro in 2013, Fox16 reported.

Oliver, 71, was serving as acting governor this week while Gov. Phil Murphy was vacationing in Italy. This news from the Garden State is all very strange even suspicious because

Hmm … healthy enough to serve as temporary governor to dead in record time.

“Before her election to the state Assembly, she served on the Essex County Board of Freeholders from 1996 until 1999.”
The NY Post editor allowed the misspelling of Freeloaders at Freeholders to pass.

A lot of black women have undiagnosed diabites sad to say.
Their diet is often very unhealthy which i’m sure contributes.
