Leah Oliver Obituary
"She was really excited about it, going to work early every day," said her father, Walter Oliver of Glen Ridge.
Ms. Oliver was at her desk on the 96th floor of the North Tower early, as usual, on Sept. 11. She died when a hijacked airliner struck the World Trade Center.
It was the day before her 25th birthday.
Ms. Oliver grew up in Massachusetts, serving in the student government and playing field hockey, softball and basketball at Dartmouth High School. She earned good enough grades to get accepted at Columbia University in New York City, where she graduated in 1998 with an engineering degree.
When she was not working, she loved to jog, especially across the Brooklyn Bridge near her home in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y. Ms. Oliver also loved to spend time with her family. She would often accompany her father on Sunday morning rides on the back of his motorcycle. The pair would be linked through an intercom system and talk as they rode through the hills and highways of northern New Jersey.
"She was a terrific passenger," her father said.
The last time Amy Roberts of Neptune Beach, Fla., saw her niece was at Christmas. Ms. Oliver -- dressed in her New York wardrobe, with a new boyfriend and her new career -- seemed to be glowing, Roberts said.
"She seemed absolutely happy," Roberts said.
In addition to her father and aunt, Ms. Oliver is survived by her mother, Elizabeth Rego of North Dartmouth, Mass.; stepmother, Lynne Oliver of Glen Ridge; brothers Teddy and Danny, also of Glen Ridge, and Dale of North Dartmouth; sister, Janna Skinner of North Dartmouth, and grandparents Walter and Gilda Oliver, also of North Dartmouth.
A service commemorating Ms. Oliver's life will be held at 10 a.m. Oct. 20 at the Glen Ridge Congregational Church, 195 Ridgewood Ave., Glen Ridge.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Leah E. Oliver Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Dartmouth High School, 366 Slocum Road, North Dartmouth, Mass. 02747.

Leah, just wanted to say hi and thinking of you. Just re-read a few wonderful remembrances of you from others; can't help but feel un-surprised how wonderful every one of them are. Thank you for being such a brief but wonderful part of my life.
Missing you.

Leah - was thinking of you this weekend - missing you and still inspired by you.
September 13, 2021
Couldn't make it here on Saturday, but I did think about you when it was morning in New York. I visited the memorial a couple of months ago for the first time and found your name. I promise that I'll never forget you.

Leah sounds like an amazing person. Today we are remembering all the losses but Leah sounded like such an inspirational person. It sounds like she made people's lives so happy and I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to keep Leah in my mind as the days and years go on. Again I am so so sorry.

first of all i have to apologized for my english level, i dont have enough words to say what i want to express, that is the reason for i gonna Write this condolence in Spanish.
Hola Leah, aquí estoy un 11 de Septiembre más honrando de alguna manera a las víctimas de aquel fatídico día, a todos aquellos que sucumbisteis bajo la barbarie del terrorismo siendo únicamente culpables de vivir, de ser libres y de estar en el lugar equivocado y a la hora indicada...
He de decirte que me siento identificado contigo, tu tenías 24 años, yo ahora tengo 21 y por lo que he leído eras un ejemplo de vitalidad y de constancia además de un extraordinario éxito profesional. Pues bien, solo quiero decirte que tu ejemplo vive junto con tu espíritu y que allá donde estés me gustaría que supieras que tu luz continua guiando a jóvenes de todo el mundo que tratan de en el día a día seguir adelante, luchando por sus sueños y amando a sus semejantes como seguro que tu lo hiciste.
Por eso y por todo Leah, gracias, gracias por servir de inspiración, tu memoria al igual que la de todos aquellos a los que les arrebataron la vida aquel fatídico día estará siempre presente entre quienes aspiramos a vivir como tu lo hiciste durante lo que seguro fueron 24 maravillosos años: En paz y libertad.
From Torrelaguna, a little town in Madrid (Spain) rest in peace, You will never be Forgotten.

Walter & Liz,
Usually every Christmas, we think of you all. (not only then, okay) We would send each other cards. You Moved! This 2nd day of January, I had a longing to see how those happy, bright-eyed, rambunctious kids are doing! We really have fond memories of them!
Of course, Leah being the oldest, the ripened old age of 4yrs, was smart as a whip, had the biggest smile and could always take care of her baby brother, under the sharp eye of her mom!
After surfing around (i don't mean at the beach, just bc we're in Jax) I came upon this blip of info attached to Leah's name. Immediate thoughts; Surely you're jest, Not true, Didn't happen, NO WAY! Then the palpitations slowed, the words on the page blurred, & I whispered, Oh-My-God!
Walter & Liz, I won't choose any negative, devastating synonymous bc you've heard them, I'm sure!
I can't be full of clichés, "we're sorry for your loss," bc it is deeper than that.
We got to know & enjoyed the gorgeous, beautiful toddlers, Leah & Dale. I loved those babies! Thank you for the memories! Now, I read your memories of the beautiful adult Leah!
Some parts, of the journey through life, can be, "INDESCRIBABLE!"
Our heart is with you!

Leah,
You were one of the nicest people I had ever met in my life. I still remember meeting you during our employee orientation week up in Boston,you were fresh out of college. I was so happy to find out that you and I would both be working out of the NYC office. I always enjoyed our conversations. You were (and still are) tops in my book, you had a wonderful combination of beauty, brains, compassion and had the ability to make others around you happy. I hope my daughter turns out to be as great of a person as you.
I will never forget you.
One more thing - thanks for that ride from the Bridgewater, NJ office to the Newark train station (I think it was in your Father's Saab), you saved me quite a bit of time that day.

Leah,
I met your mother at this years memorial, we spoke about you and about Patricia Massari (she worked on the 98th floor for Marsh) You could tell how much she loves you. I just had to come here and read a little more about you. You and Trish were born the same year, I could only imagine that you and Trish are now together in heaven looking down upon us all. May you rest in peace and watch upon your family.

As I was watching memorial coverage of 9-11-01 on TV this am...your name appeared across the bottom of the screen. Sharing last name's, I couldn't help but read about your life and achievements. I found it interesting that your interests and job paralled those of my children. Can't help but feel the pain your loved ones' do...and so despise the ideology that shortened your contribution to our family's name... to life... to all that might have been. Your brief legacy continues to move us in many ways and goodness never dies. Carry-On!

I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I dated your brother Teddy for three years and he remains a close friend of mine. I'm sending tons of love and light out to your family today - your dad, Walter, and your two younger brothers, Teddy and Danny. Your spirit shines on forever.

Leah,
every time I catch a glimpse of a clock that reads 9:11 I say a prayer for you. You had the smile of an angel and now I know why. Although I know you are in a better place, your life remains a testimony to the tragedy surrounding a life cut far too short. I can't believe it has been ten years. God bless you. You will forever remain in my heart a cherished childhood friend.

I was in new York on a weekend trip with friends and we decided to visit the 911 memorial site where I decided to take a random picture of victims on the wall. I've been showing these picture of my trip to friends and family for the past few days not really paying attention to this particular picture until today. It's 3:25 am on march 1st 2011 and one face on the wall caught my eye. A beautiful girl with black hair big eyes and a golden smile. I could hardly read the name on top of the picture but I finally made it out I entered your name on google and i came across this website. I'm a total stranger and it's dumb luck that i came across your name but all the love that u inspired in your short life its more then what some people have accomplished in a lifetime. God bless and keep you and know your not forgotten by your family and complete strangers

I was Leah's classmate from seventh grade through high school graduation. I still have her old home number written in my messy eleven-year-old penmanship. I remember having many little conversations with her in Mr. Dougherty's homeroom before school during our senior year that made me very happy... On the fifth anniversary of her passing, I'm flooded with silly little memories like those that aren't important to anyone but me. I try to honor her by thinking of them and hoping that maybe she remembers as well.

I was scrolling through the pictures of those lost on September 11th and could not help but notice Leah's vivacious smile. I'm sure I would have been lucky to know her. My aunt died of cancer on September 10th, 2001, and I've always considered myself so lucky to be able to say goodbye to her. It has helped me to know that my aunt was there to greet everyone who died that day, and I'm sure she would have been as caring and compassionate to Leah as she was to all of her own nieces and nephews!

As the 2nd anniverary of Sept 11th approaches, I wanted family and friends of Leah to know that people still care deeply, and remember in their hearts the terrible events of that day, as well as the wonderful people such as Leah who were lost. Although I did not know her, the winning smile she has, as well as the comments from all who knew her reveal what a loss the world has experienced. May God comfort the family in their loss, and know that many people, even those they don't know, care about Leah, and feel that the world is less than it could be without her here.

I worked with Leah at Xcelerate in Atlanta and was instantly both charmed and impressed by her. She was so very intelligent, and reached out to people in such a way as to make them always feel welcome. Her smile and sense of humor were equally captivating, and inseparable. I was shocked the day I found out. It troubles me now as much as it did then. God gives us very special people to inspire us - why they are taken away so quickly I will learn as time passes.

Leah, we never met, but as I watched the names and faces of the people who were lost on 9/11, I thought about everyone, but I especially thought about all the people in their 20s, who were on the brink of a new beginning to their lives. It saddened me deeply knowing that there were so many of you, of my generation, who could never realize their lives, their potential to become extraordinary human beings. Leah, I looked at your picture and read all your tributes and I felt I had lost someone I knew I would have loved to have met. My thougts and prayers go out to your friends and family and I know you will be safe in all of our collected embraces. We will save them for when we see you again.

I worked with Leah at Xcelerate and she was a highly valued and respected member of our team and company. Plus it was very easy to like the combination of her intelligence, ability to get things done and her especially pleasant and warm personality. From a distance it is often hard to relate to the events of 9/11 and those that died in the WTC, at the Pentagon and on the plane that went down in PA. Leah is my personal link to the events that day and I am very sad to think of her being gone but appreciate having the chance to have known her for a brief while.

I knew Leah from xcelerate. She worked in the Atlanta office for a while and I was in technical support. I had to keep rebuilding her pc for her because it kept crashing...seems like I rebuilt it 5 times. We'd send it back and forth to each other; she was always so easy-going and was just a pleasure to work with. She is greatly missed by all who knew her.

They say that everyone was touched in someway by what happened, that everyone had a link to it, directly or indirectly. My link is you, Leah. I remember you from high school, when we took classes together. You were always the pretty one, the nice one, who never seemed mean to anyone or anything, always the one with that smile. And though we went our seperate ways after graduation, I still remember you. No matter where you are now, as long as there are memories, you haven't gone anywhere, because we will always have you in our hearts and minds. God bless you....

My son David went to Columbia with Leah. I only had the pleasure of meeting her twice. Once they drove back to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving as she was visiting family and the other time was graduation day at Columbia. I have a lovely picture of the two of them embracing thinking the world was ahead of them and it was until 9/11.
What a tremendous loss for everyone.
To her family and friends, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless all of you.

Not one moment goes by when I am not thinking of Leah. Not only the way her smile lit up a room, or the way she laughed, but the way she touched so many lives, including my own. She touched lives in a way that only an angel could. Leah will always be my angel. The awesome memories of growing up with her will be cherished for the rest of my life. Leah would say to us, "Do not speak of me as if I have passed, but as if I were still here with you." I miss you!

My fiance and I worked with Leah for about 2 years @ CTP in NY. When we first learned of her tragic loss, we wanted to offer our deepest condolences. We remember her to have always been kind, friendly, fun-loving and hard working. There are no words I can offer to make up for her loss. To quote Abraham Lincoln -
"I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom."

I read this poem and it seemed so fitting of my friendship with Leah that I decided to post it.
"Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world,
You entered, bringing light and life to me,
The vivid colors, painted with a swirl
Of wit and charm, of personality.
With tender care, you added comfort, warmth,
And images that line the now bright walls.
I look upon them fondly, bringing forth
A thankfulness that you've walked in these halls
With me; our friendship has become a part
Of my world now; it has its special place,
Within my being, life, and in my heart,
Your name hangs right beside your smiling face.
Remembering just how drab these walls had been,
I have to thank you for the light, my friend."

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
