Larry James Ziemer,76, of Monticello, passed away peacefully at 8:30am on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at IU Health White Memorial Hospital in Monticello. Born on February 16, 1948, to the late Ruben and Dorothy (Caldwell) Ziemer, Larry lived a life full of dedication and service.

He was a proud United States Marine veteran, having served in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969. After his military service, Larry worked for RCA in Monticello and later for Diener Supply in Monticello until his retirement in 2000.

Larry was a man of many interests, spending his free time delving into ancestry and genealogy, as well as tending to yardwork and mowing the lawns of his neighbors.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Doneata Diener Ziemer, whom he married on November 10, 1971, in Illinois. Larry is also survived by his son, Chadwick Ziemer and his wife Vanessa, of Monticello; his brother, Richard “Dick” Ziemer of Buffalo; and his cherished grandsons, Benjamin, Jackson, and Thomas Ziemer, all of Monticello.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings, Everett Ziemer, Shirley Lockard, and Luella Tully.

In accordance with Larry's wishes, funeral services will be held privately at Roscka Roth & Clapper Funeral Home in Monticello, with burial at Riverview I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Monticello.
