Evelyn Schoonover

It’s with great sadness (because we will miss her), but also with the Joy of her going home to be with her heavenly father and family in heaven, the passing of Evelyn Schoonover. A wonderful woman, wife of 70 years, and a loving mother.

She will be greatly missed by her entire family and friends. Evelyn was a woman of personal courage, strong convictions, and an even stronger faith in God. She is survived by her husband William (Ed) Schoonover of 70 years; sons David Schoonover (Catherine) and William (Ed) Schoonover (Sheri); stepchildren Darlet De Lisle (Ed) and Gary Schoonover; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Family was everything to her, as were her friends. Evelyn was a petite woman with a big heart. She loved going to church and talking to friends. As a woman of a bygone era, she prided herself in being a wife and mother, all of which she exceeded in every way.

She worked for quite a few years for See’s Candy, which is something she also did well. It fit her “to a T.” A sweet job for a dear sweetheart.

Evelyn passed at the age of 91 on Christmas day and just 5 days after her earthly birthday.

People that knew her will always remember they were blessed to see a person of true faith and a child of God. Happy for the life that she had and blessed to be a friend and part of her family.
