Jacqueline Ventiere

Jacqueline Ann Haubold Ventiere of Long Island, New York passed away on June 14, 2026 in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.

Born on October 30, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York, Jacque was the daughter of George Haubold and Loretta Thompson.

She graduated from Lindenhurst High School Class of 1963 and went on to attend Saint Catherine’s School of Nursing in Brooklyn, New York. She received a license to practice as a Registered Professional Nurse from the University of the State of New York in 1966.

Jacque worked as a nurse for over fifty years before reluctantly retiring in 2021. Outside of work she loved to travel, read, and spend time with her children, grandchildren and friends. She quickly became bingo champion and crowd favorite at the assisted living facility she had recently moved to to be closer to family.

She was predeceased by her parents and brother, George Haubold, Jr. She is survived by her children Michael Monastero (Dina), Kellyanne Tirva (Joseph), Mathew Monastero, Jeffrey Monastero (Jessica) and Michael Ventiere. And her grandchildren Rebecca (Michael Sugarman) and Sarah Monastero, Abigail Tirva, Shane and Jenna Monastero, and Lily and Logan Monastero.

She also leaves behind her partner, Edward Hines, and his children, whom she loved. His daughter, Chrissy McGlauflin and her husband Jim took excellent care of her when her own children could not be there, and for that we are forever grateful.

Diagnosed with metastatic cancer in 2019, she was determined not to let it beat her. In the end it was not the cancer that beat her, it was she that beat the cancer.

A wake will be held at Raynor & D’Andrea Funeral Home 245 Main St. West Saville, NY on Thursday June 18, 2026. Viewings will be from 2:00PM-4:00PM and 7:00PM-9:00PM. A short service will be held during the later viewing.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donation be made to The American Lung Association in Jacqueline’s memory.
