Learmia Listach Conerly's Obituary
Learmia Listach Conerly, age 83, entered eternal rest peacefully on the afternoon of Tuesday June 21, 2022, at Hospice House of Slidell, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Natchitoches, Louisiana, on July 7th, 1938, to Nora Listach and Annie Lee Gillie Listach.
Learmia is survived by her grief-stricken children, Shaun Ray David Conerly (Kimberly Conerly, wife), of Madison, Mississippi; and Linnette Conerly Goodly, of Covington, Louisiana. Learmia was the proud grandmother of Ian Goodly, Haley Conerly, Lauren Conerly, and Christian Goodly. Learmia was the caring sibling of Dr. Cora Fitch Kendall, Gracie Listach Gayle Rucker, and John Listach. She is lovingly survived by a host of long life friends.
Learmia is preceded in death by her husband Zebedee Richard Conerly, affectionately known by most as Coach Richard “Rock” Conerly of 43 years; her adoring parents, Nora and Annie Lee Listach; her brother, Nora Listach, II; and sisters, Audrey Listach Kellis and Gloria Listach Henderson.
A native of Natchitoches, Louisiana, Learmia was a longtime resident of Madisonville, Louisiana for over 56 years. Learmia graduated from Central High School in 1956. After high school, she attended Grambling State University, and earned her master’s degree in education. Learmia was an outstanding and exceptional teacher for over 35 years in St. Tammany Parish. She was well-respected by all, and truly enjoyed teaching at Chata-Ima Elementary School and Mandeville Middle School, until she retired in 1996. Learmia was devoted to her Catholic faith and was a long-time active member of St. Anselm Catholic Church of Madisonville.
Learmia, fondly endeared by her family and friends as “Lee-Darlin” or “Mrs. Lee”, was loving, compassionate, and most importantly, a very caring person to all she touched. Learmia’s true passion was spending time with, and doting on her children, grandchildren, friends, and family. Learmia was unique, irreplaceable, well-respected and loved. She will be deeply and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her jovial spirit and tender nature will remain in the many memories of her cherished friends and family - until they meet her again.
