† LISTERMAN Larry Francis Listerman, 81, of Ionia

passed away on December 8, 2023 in the comfort of his own home surrounded by his loving wife and three children. Larry, a true Ionian, was born on June 30, 1942 in Ionia, MI and graduated from Ionia High School in 1960. Larry grew up in his longtime home north of Ionia with his parents, Francis and June Listerman, and two brothers, Chuck and Tom, who all have preceded him in death. As an avid, hardworking, young man, Larry grew up dairy farming, working at Chrysler of Lyons, Peschke’s, and owning a service station, H&L Gulf. And in 1963, Larry committed the rest of his life and love to his high school sweetheart, Janet Sprague, and later in 1964 they welcomed their first child, Jacqulyn Hartman. Years following, they happily welcomed Jennifer Scheurer and Chad Listerman, and completed their family of five. As their family thrived, farming the land and raising cattle, Larry led a family that’s passion for agriculture, community, and other’s stretched across the county.

Larry’s dedicated his life to Ionia, and 31 years as a member on the Ionia Township Board and his role as Supervisor, to his commitment on the Ionia Free Fair Board for 15 years. Larry’s passion for the Ionia Free Fair showed through in his character every day. From countless hours spent progressing the fair, and his integral role in building the 4H’s new arena, Larry was a constant, joyful presence seen riding around on his golf cart heckling his friends and making new ones.

At age 60, Larry retired from farming and set out to help his son at CL Trucking & Excavating by being his go-to loader operator at Keifer Pit. Larry was someone who could dish it as well as take it, his joy in life was picking on someone to a point where he got pure pleasure out of their exasperation. The construction workers at CLTE and fellow farmers were his happiest target. Larry enjoyed cooking, shrimp and crab at Christmas, and also loved the occasional baking so he could give away the sweetest of treats.

Larry cared about people. His family and his many friends will miss him deeply. We will always be reminded of him every day, in the Pepsi we drink, golf cart seen driving by, and any neon green hat we see bobbing in the crowd.

Larry is survived by his wife Janet, children Jackie, Jenny, and Chad their spouses Kurt, Larry, and Laura, grandchildren Ryan, Lyndsee, Austin, Elizabeth, Colin, Cole, their spouses, Stephanie, Savannah, and Nick, as well as great grand grandchildren Dominik, Bubba, Jocelynn, Alyssa, Wade, Wesson, and Paisley. Along with his sisters-in-law Terri Listerman, Bonnie Listerman, many nieces and nephews, cousins, and longtime close friends; including caregivers Gregg and Jody Garrison.

And preceded in death by grandchildren Laurel, Keegan and Calli Scheurer.

Larry will be missed greatly but we know he’s happy to be visiting with his parents, Francis and June, brothers, Chuck and Tom, in-laws, Tom and Alma Sprague, Don and Mary Gregory, brother-inlaw, Wayne Sprague, and many great friends.

In lieu of flowers, any contributions in Larry’s name should be made out to the Ionia Free Fair Foundation.

A celebration of life was held at Lake Funeral Home in Ionia on Wednesday, December 13th 7:00 PM. with a visitation held 3 hours prior to services (4-7) at the funeral home. Online condolences may be made at www.lakefuneralhomes.com

Fun books to read to children this holiday season

The holiday season is a special time of year for people of all ages, but children might be the most enthusiastic celebrants come December. Children spend much of the holiday season anticipating the arrival of the man in the red suit, and that enthusiasm can be contagious.

Families have their own unique traditions during the holiday season, but one popular way to harness kids’ enthusiasm between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day is to read them holiday stories. There’s no shortage of great holiday books for kids, but here are a handful that kids may

remember well into adulthood.

The perfect holiday party playlist

Experienced party hosts understand that certain elements are essential to throwing a successful get-together. Guests expect a few things when they arrive, with good food and drink topping the list. Music also figures into the magic formula for a well-received party.

The late Aretha Franklin said, “Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.”

The power of music is so strong that party hosts know they must curate a playlist to complement the festivities. When hosting during the holiday season, hosts can rest easy in the knowledge that curating a playlist tends to be easier than at other times of the year. That’s due in large part to the prominent role some classic holiday tunes play come December. When curating a holiday party playlist, be sure to include these options.

• “HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS” (1943): This is a song written for Judy Garland for the MGM musical “Meet Me in St. Louis.”

Many artists have covered it, including Frank Sinatra and Sam Smith.

• “RUN RUDOLPH RUN” (1958): Written by Chuck Berry, and first performed by him, the song is a 12-bar blues. It’s similar in style to Berry’s popular “Johnny B. Goode.”

• “IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR” (1963): Recorded by Andy Williams for his first Christmas album, this song is a celebration

of holiday gatherings with friends and family.

• “ W H AT C H R I S T M A S MEANS TO ME” (1967): Stevie Wonder’s recognizable tenor shines through on this song that shares all the traditions that help make Christmas merry and bright.

• “HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)” (1971): John Lennon and Yoko Ono released this song in 1971. Though it’s a protest song against the Vietnam War, it has since become a Christmas standard.

• “SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN” (1975): Bruce Springsteen’s rocking version of this song is one no holiday playlist should be without.

• “DO THEY KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS?” (1984): Written

by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, this song was recorded to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. It features Band Aid, a supergroup made up of popular Irish and British musical artists.

• “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU” (1994): Love it or loathe it, Mariah Carey’s song is one of the few modern Christmas songs to enter the esteemed Christmas music canon. It also helped pave the way for Carey to be forever tied to Christmas.

• “IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS” (2011): Several artists have recorded this song, which was written in 1951. Jazz standards artist Michael Bublé made it his own in 2011.

Curating a holiday party playlist can start with the above songs, and the list can then be customized with more tunes that help make the season magical.

We love sharing our holiday spirit with patrons, so December is jam-packed with activities to celebrate the season. The whole family can enjoy “Character Quest,” our scavenger-hunt-witha-twist, which runs from December 5 – 22 and features one youth and one adult prize pack winner per week. Try your luck spinning our fabulous prize wheel each time you visit between December 11 and 23. Make your overdue fines disappear by stopping in from December 18 – 23 for fine forgiveness. Every open Monday this month we’ll have new, small take-and-make craft projects at checkout for both adults and children—ask for yours before they are all snapped up! If you are in the mood to support the library, our wish

tree will be back, and filled with ornaments that you can take in exchange for a donation. Finally, when your sweet tooth is calling, take a candy cane from one of our three trees.

Bold Bead Necklaces A good statement necklace can make or break an outfit, and now you’ll have a chance to craft your own. Register anytime, and then pick up a bag containing wooden beads and all the other items you’ll need starting January 12.

Whether you paint your beads or keep it natural with wood stains, your necklace is sure to let everyone know you are a force to be reckoned with. Ages 16 and up, registration required.
