The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, September 24, 2013


Frank Edward Ackerson, 79, of Ionia, peacefully passed away Thursday morning 
following a stroke.  Ed was born on May 19, 1934, to Glen and Ivah (Gates) 
Ackerson in Palo, Michigan. 

He graduated from Ionia High School with the class of 1952 and married Mary 
Wood on July 11, 1954.  They celebrated 59 years together.  From this union, Ed 
and Mary had three children - Steve, Janine and Ron.  Ed was employed by the 
Michigan Department of Corrections for 31 years, with the last 30 years being 
at the Michigan Reformatory in Ionia, retiring in 1993.  Ed enjoyed camping and 
traveling with his wife, fishing, spending time with his children and 
grandchildren, and relaxing with various family members in his favorite 
locations in the Upper Peninsula.  He also enjoyed "puttering" around the house 
and in his work shed.  He was best known for his quick wit and sense of humor, 
which will be dearly missed.

He is loved and survived by his wife and children, Steve (Audrey) Ackerson, 
Janine (Scott) Kooienga and Ron (Darice) Ackerson, grandchildren, Nick 
Kooienga, Jessica Kooienga and Molly Ackerson, sister Darlene and a brother Jim 
(Karen), many nieces and nephews, many extended family members and friends.  He 
was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, Glenn, Louie and Don and 
sister, Lorraine. 

Visitation will be held on Thursday, September 26, 2013 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the 
Lehman Funeral Home, 220 Rich St., Ionia.  A memorial of Ed's life will be 
celebrated at the Lehman Funeral Home on Friday at 3 p.m., officiated by Pastor 
Jamey Nichols, with a brief visitation at 2 p.m. preceding the funeral.  In 
lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations to Ionia Area 
Hospice or a Hospice of your choice.
