Jerome Joseph Bielinski

Jerome Joseph Bielinski passed away peacefully on September 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas. He was born in Denmark, Wisconsin, on March 21, 1937, to Jacob Bielinski and Mary (Kukla) Bielinski.

Jerome graduated from Denmark High School in 1955 and continued his education at St. Norbert College, graduating in 1959. From 1960–1962, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Army as a Military Dog Handler.

Following his military service, Jerome built a successful career in the finance and banking industries. He worked as a Vice President at Commercial Investment Trust (CIT) before joining First Wisconsin National Bank of Milwaukee, where he served as an Assistant Vice President until his retirement in 1993. After retiring, he moved to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, where he enjoyed the slower pace of life.

Jerome's retirement years were filled with joy and adventure. He loved golfing, gardening, playing cards with friends, cheering on his beloved Green Bay Packers, taking boat rides around Lake Balboa, visiting casinos, and traveling often around the USA and to Aruba with family and friends.

In 1970, Jerome met the love of his life, Diane J. Zablocki, and the two married on May 29, 1971. Together, they built a life filled with love, family, and faith. Jerome was a devoted member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Hot Springs Village, where he served as a proud member of the Knights of Columbus.

Above all, Jerome cherished his family. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Diane, his parents, and his brothers, Leonard and Earl. He is survived by his stepsons, Scott Cairey (Heidi) of Belews Creek, North Carolina, and Wesley Cairey (Lillian) of Pearland, Texas, as well as his treasured granddaughters, Holly and Lindsey Cairey; many nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members.
