Lucy Schoonmaker, daughter of John and Frances Jacques, was born in Colorado on March 6, 1923, the last of 10 children. She was reunited with them all on July 30, 2021. She moved to California in 1941 and graduated from Sacramento High School in 1942.
She married Wayne Schoonmaker in 1943 and they enjoyed 64 happy years together before his passing in 2007. They had four children: Elizabeth Louwaine, Wayne, Jackie and Donna. These children produced 14 grandchildren. Sadly, Louwaine and Wayne have passed on.
Lucy's great-grandchildren total 28 and there are 9 great-great-grandchildren with 3 more on the way. She was able to meet 6 of her great-great-grandchildren.
After retiring from her job as a State Employee after many years, she provided childcare for two of her granddaughters.
Lucy and Wayne enjoyed bowling, playing pinochle, dancing and spending time with family.
She loved all of us very much and we will miss her dearly.
