Linda Olterzewski

March 2, 1953 - July 20, 2016

LINDA OLTERZEWSKI, 63, of Galloway, NJ, passed away July 20, 2016, after fighting cancer off and on for 6 years. Growing up in Clark, NJ as one of five children to her beloved parents, Joseph and Genevieve Olterzewski, she attended Mother Seton Regional. After high school she moved to Ventnor, NJ. She graduated Stockton State College with a BSW and was an avid photographer throughout her life. After college, Linda worked at the Playboy Casino which transitioned to the Trump Taj Mahal Casino, where she remained and excelled for over 25 years. Linda leaves behind two wonderful loving sons, John and Austin, two dear sisters, Ellen Cicero (Ron) and Amy Quinn (Bob), and a dozen nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind many relatives and cousins from her beloved husband John Turner's family. Her positive attitude and strength made all who knew her better off. Her greatest joys were cooking and gardening. Be it through her kitchen or her garden, she delighted at appeasing someone's appetite. She battled cancer like a warrior; never giving up, and never ever feeling sorry for herself. She adapted to every curve ball cancer threw at her and persevered. Linda will be remembered by family, college friends, and coworkers, for her strong will, kind heart, sense of humor, spectacular culinary skills, and her deep love for her friends and family.
