Jacqueline (Jackie) Mooney, 87, a long-time resident of Largo, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2023 at Bay Front Health, St. Petersburg. She was born at St. Augustine, Florida, the daughter of the late Chester and Marjorie (Arbour) Deagle and lived many years in Cambridge, Waltham, and Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Her interests included ice dancing at the Skating Club of Boston, an activity she continued in Florida well into her 70’s, camping with her family in Bridgton, ME, baking incredibly delicious special occasion cakes, and enjoying traveling excursions with her sister to Hawaii, Europe, Australia, and the South Pacific.
