† KREBS Helen Janis (“Jan”) Krebs, age 90, passed away
peacefully in her sleep on Monday, March 21, 2022. Jan was born to mother Helen Josephine Selby and father Dee Decker on the family farm in Ovid, Michigan, on July 1, 1931. After her family lost the farm during the Great Depression, they moved to Ionia in 1934, where her father worked as a guard at Ionia Reformatory and her mother was a beloved schoolteacher and principal. Due to her mother’s teaching jobs, Jan moved several times between Laingsburg and Ionia in her childhood before settling in Saranac, Michigan, where she attended sixth grade through high school. Motivated by her mother’s love of learning, Jan attended college at Lansing Business University. After college, Jan worked at the Ionia State Hospital from 1951 to 1953, before moving with her girlfriends to find jobs and adventure in Los Angeles. During a trip back home for Christmas a year later, she met the love of her life, Irv Krebs, and decided to stay in Michigan. They married a year later in 1954 and had three beautiful daughters: Teri (born in 1956), Mary Jo (born in 1958), and Cheryl (born in 1960). Sadly, Irv passed away in 1974. Throughout her career, Jan worked as a secretary/administrative professional in a variety of organizations and businesses, including Oldsmobile and Jefferson Elementary School, where she was beloved by students and staff alike. She finished out her career as a secretary for the Michigan State University Radiology Department, where she worked up until her retirement in 1998. Her time at MSU’s Department of Radiology inspired her grandson Tom to pursue a career in radiology. After retirement, Jan spent 15 years serving her community at the Ionia County Commission on Aging, where she provided caregiving services to senior citizens. She built lasting relationships with those she met there, and the position was a natural fit for her giving spirit. Jan was a devoted, loving mother and her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She loved looking at any baby that crossed her path and was an avid lover of animals, particularly horses and dogs. Several dogs were lucky enough to call Jan’s home their own, including her beloved Tigger and Freddie. Jan always had a kind word to share, and found pleasure in making anyone she passed, family or stranger alike, smile and feel special. Jan’s kindness and generosity shone through everywhere she traveled, and as such, she is remembered with deep love by a seemingly endless community of family and friends who can recall her warm smile as easily as her wit, sense of humor, and sweet tooth. She is survived by her brother, Wendall Decker of Grand Ledge; daughters Teri (Ray) Cruse of Kewanee, IL, Mary Jo (Rick) McKendry of Lyons, and daughter Cheryl Krebs of Ionia; and grandchildren, Thomas (Becky) McKendry of Lansing, Raymond Cruse of Kewanee, Alison (Kyle) Gould of Traverse City, and Travis Cruse of Dunlap, IL. A visitation will be held on Saturday, March 26 at the Lake Funeral Home in Ionia from 1-3. Online condolences may be made at www.lakefuneralhomes.com To celebrate Jan’s love of reading and connection with animals, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in her honor to the Ionia County Animal Shelter or Ionia Community Library.

may think that they’re too busy to engage in hobbies. In such instances, individuals should look for activities that don’t require too great of a time commitment. · Photography: Photos can be snapped just about anywhere and at any time, making photography ideal for busy people. Thanks to advancements in mobile phone cameras, individuals do not even need a high-tech or expensive camera to snap great shots. · Cooking: Everyone needs to eat, making cooking a very

useful hobby. Many people who cook for pleasure also note how relaxing it can be to prepare a delicious meal. · Curating music playlists: People with a love of music can take advantage of the many music streaming services to curate their own archives. Discover new music or find old favorites and then make digital playlists for the activities of everyday life, such as backyard barbecues or commutes into work. Various streaming sites allow users to make playlists public so they can be shared with others who enjoy the same musical genres. · Reading: The benefits of reading are numerous. Reading bolsters readers’ vocabulary, can teach them about current events, provides an escape, and also serves as exercise for the brain, potentially delaying age-related cognitive decline. Reading can be a solitary venture done in short or long periods of spare time. It also can be shared with others through book clubs and other reading groups. · Scrapbooking: Photographs are now routinely relegated to the cloud, where they linger in a sort of digital limbo. Scrapbooking inspires people to not only print their photos, but to get creative putting them together with designs, sayings and other mementos. Busy individuals do not have to pass up on hobbies because they feel they’re short on time. Plenty of activities don’t require much time but still provide a host of benefits.

How to account for a rising cost of living Cost of living is a significant component of financial planning. The cost of living may dictate where people live and work, and a high cost of living can influence how individuals spend their free time. Data from Statistics Canada indicates that consumer prices rose 4.1 percent and 5.3 percent in August 2021 in Canada and the United States, respectively. As Canadians headed to the polls in late September, a survey from Abacus Data found that 38 percent felt reducing their cost of living was a key factor affecting their vote. Similarly, a 2020 survey from TD Ameritrade found that 47 percent of Americans feel that cost of living is the biggest threat to their financial security and long-term investments. It’s worth noting that the survey was conducted prior to the pandemic.
Since the onset of the pandemic, cost of living has increased considerably. Though the fight against a rising cost of living can feel like an uphill battle, individuals can take steps to prepare for such increases. · Apply lessons learned during the pandemic. A recent Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. government and Eurostat data found that roughly 9.6 million workers in the United States lost their jobs in the first three quarters of 2020. That period coincides with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. When forced to confront sudden and unexpected job losses, millions of individuals learned how to get by on less income. Cost-saving measures adopted during the pandemic can be continued or reimplemented, helping individuals to combat

higher energy costs and other rising expenses. · Look for a new job or fresh income streams. A rising cost of living is a concern for people from all walks of life, but it may be especially concerning for retirees or individuals with costs like childcare that can be hard to pare back. In such instances, individuals can look for new a job or fresh income streams. According to the Q3 2021 CNBC | Momentive Small Business Survey, 50 percent of small business owners say it’s gotten harder to find qualified people to hire compared to a year ago. And nearly one-third of survey respondents indicate they have open roles they have not been able to fill for at least three months. Individuals can explore local employment opportunities in an effort to find a new, more lucrative job that can help them combat a rising cost of living. Others who want to remain in their jobs can look for part-time work to supplement their existing income. · Consider relocating. The pandemic forced many companies to transition from in office working to remote working overnight. That trial by fire could have lasting results. A 2020 survey of 317 Chief Financial Officers and leaders in the finance industry found that 74 percent will move at least 5 percent of their previously on-site workforce to permanently remote positions after the pandemic ends. The survey, conducted by Gartner, Inc., also found that nearly one-quarter of respondents will move at least 20 percent of their on-site workers to permanently remote positions. That could make it possible for millions of working professionals to relocate to regions with a lower cost of living than their current towns or cities.
