Surrounded by and in the loving care of her family, Olivia passed peacefully at home on May 13, 2025, at the age of 20.

The beloved and cherished daughter of James H. Blymer and Kellie Sweeney Blymer, Liv was an adored and loving sister to Jenai Gonzales (Jonathan Walker) and Riley Blymer. She was a cherished granddaughter of James and Maryann Blymer, Joan Gonzales, and of the late Edward Sweeney, the late Gail Sweeney, and the late Margaret Sweeney.

Olivia was a loving niece of Theresa Netz and Bruce Myers, and the treasured goddaughter and niece of Jeanette and Matt Dembinski. She is also survived by her cousins, who were more like best friends, Maddie and Jake, along with countless other loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and devoted friends. Her beloved cat, Stevie Nicks, and dog, Roxy, will miss her dearly.

A lifetime resident of Brooklawn, Olivia attended Alice Costello School and went on to graduate with the Gloucester High School Class of 2023. She left a lasting impact on her teachers, coaches and classmates. Liv had a deep love for music—especially attending concerts and collecting vinyl records. She enjoyed thrifting and had a passion for the outdoors, whether hiking, boating with her grandparents, or spending time at the beach with her family and friends. As an avid Philadelphia sports fan, Liv, Riley and their father faithfully followed the Phillies and 76ers. She also joyfully embraced her newest role as an aunt to Evy, Gwen and Lauren. 

Olivia's warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit will forever be remembered by all who knew and loved her.
