Debra L. Schoonover passed away Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the age of 67. Beloved daughter of June Schoonover and the late Alger Schoonover. Dearest sister of Sandra Schoonover, David (Tina) Schoonover, Pamela Stewart, Karen (Charles) Czapla, Lisa (the late Michael) Fingal, and Brenda (John) Upleger. Cherished Aunt of many nieces and nephews. Loving partner of Patrick R. Goike, Jr.

As a Mathematics teacher, Debra enjoyed a fulfilling career in education at Almont High School where she inspired countless students with her patience and enthusiasm for learning.

Debra found pleasure in spending time with her loved ones, creating beautiful handmade crafts, gardening, camping, and enjoying nature. Her creativity and zest for life inspired those around her. She will be remembered always for her kindness, generosity, and love for her family.

A memorial celebration in honor of Debra will be held at a later date.
