Obituary Preview: John Nash Schoenberger

John Nash Schoenberger of New Windsor, a retired teacher and coach, and a gifted, lifelong athlete, passed away on September 11, 2019. He was 82.

Son of Charles and Ann (Nash) Schoenberger, he was born in Cornwall, N.Y., on July 24, 1937, and lived in Newburgh and New Windsor for most of his life. He played varsity baseball, basketball and track at Newburgh Free Academy, graduating in 1955 and heading to Manhattan College on a four-year baseball scholarship. A proud Manhattan Jasper, John won the New York State batting title in 1958 with a remarkable .421 average, and earned varsity letters in baseball, basketball, and track. In 2000, he was inducted into Manhattan College’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Signed by the Baltimore Orioles as a college senior, John played for minor leagues teams in Bluefield, West Virginia; Leesburg, Florida; Pensacola, Florida; and Raleigh, North Carolina, before injuries ended a promising baseball career.

John then taught school for 30 years, mainly in Tuxedo, N.Y. He also coached varsity soccer, basketball, and baseball for Tuxedo’s George F. Baker High School, and coached the Newburgh Nuclears American Legion baseball team to a state championship in 1963. He earned his M.A. in Education from the State University of New York at New Paltz and won three National Science Foundation grants to advance science education. While a young teacher in the 1960s, he also served in the Army National Guard and the Army Reserves.

He was a longtime member of the Optimist Club and a devoted tennis player with a sneaky drop shot. He went to the gym almost daily well into his 70s and threw perfect spirals at the family’s annual Turkey Bowl games. He did multiple crossword puzzles every day, only occasionally looking up the answers, and was a dedicated fan of the New York Yankees.

John met his wife Joyce at Newburgh Free Academy, and on September 10, they celebrated their 59th anniversary. He was a kind and loving father and grandfather who will be greatly missed.

In addition to Joyce, he is survived by four children; his daughter Mary Ann and her husband Darrick; daughter Susan and her husband Kevin; daughter Nancy (King) and her husband Chris; and son John Jr.; as well as his seven cherished grandchildren, AJ, Sam, Christopher, Bridget, Jenna, Claire, and Matthew. He is also survived by his brother Fred and his wife Nora, along with four nieces and nephews.

She was a generous soul, a great mother, an excellent friend and will be missed. “The Gardener” Written for Grandma Helen by Kate Helene Daley age 15

My Grandmother’s hands are world-worn. This is what I think As I watch her, back bent, eyes squinted, playing tug-of-war

with stubborn weeds. My grandmother is stubborn too, and vehement in what she cares for,

who she cares about.

My grandmother cares about me. She says it with words, which are melodious on my ear, but more importantly she says it with countless actions

that mean so much. Not really is so much in buying things, for anyone can do that, but in gestures that may seem little, like making my bed, or baking cookies, or smoothing my hair and

making me drink when I am sick.

And praying for me.

Her prayers are more precious than any jewel. My grandmother is special, and wonderful,

and very loved. All this I muse as she sifts dirt through her fingers,

that are liver-spotted and plagued by arthritis. My grandmother has beautiful hands—

they do great deeds.

Arrangements – To honor Helen’s wishes the arrangements will be private.
