GOLD, PA—Jacqueline A. Schoonover, 79, of Gold, passed away in her home with her loving sons by her side on Thursday, June 11, 2026.

    Born August 9, 1946, in a little cabin on Cutler Summit outside of Gold,  she was the daughter of George and Edith Cutler Mack. Jacqueline was a graduate of Northern Potter High School, Ulysses, Class of 1964.  On October 9, 1965, in Andrews Settlement Church, Mrs. Schoonover married Daniel F. Schoonover Sr., who passed away on April 27, 2013.

    After her marriage to her lifelong love, Jacqueline became a Domestic Engineer aka the world’s greatest wife and mother, to their four sons.  Mrs. Schoonover is remembered throughout the area for her highly talented artwork as she continued to paint up until her recent death.  She is remembered as always riding around the Pennsylvania country roads sitting right next to her husband Daniel in their travels and adventures.  Most will remember her working right alongside her family through the years at the Potter County Anglers Club Inc from 1967 through 2012.

    In addition to her husband Daniel Schoonover and her parents, Jacqueline was predeceased by one brother, Donald Mack.

     At Jacqueline’s request, there will be no public visitation or funeral services. Burial will be in Wells Cemetery, Oswayo, next to her husband, Daniel Schoonover.

     In lieu of flowers or memorials, the family would like all who knew their mother to remember Jacqueline in spirit.
