Thieme, Jerome H. "Jerry" (9 MAR 1935 - 28 FEB 2012)

Jerome "Jerry" Harry Thieme, 76, of Marshfield, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2012. 

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at Wesley United Methodist Church in Marshfield. Rev. Ruth Egerer will officiate. Visitation will be from 9 a.m. until service time at the church on Wednesday. The Hansen-Schilling Funeral Home in Marshfield is assisting the family with arrangements. 

Jerry was born March 9, 1935 in Clark County, the son of Harry Herman Thieme and Louise (Tesmer) Thieme. He graduated from Greenwood High School and proudly served in the U.S. Army as a military policeman. Upon returning from active duty, Jerry was hired by the Marshfield Police Department, where he served his community for more than 30 years, retiring as a detective. In retirement he greatly enjoyed working at Marshfield Country Club and Figi's. 

Mr. Thieme was a dedicated member of Wesley United Methodist Church (choir, bible study and various programs and dinners). He cherished time spent with family, friends and especially his children. His hobbies were biking, lawn care, monthly card club parties, high school sporting events, morning coffee with the guys and grilling out. Those who know him best will always remember him for his warm spirit and love of God, country and loved ones. 

Jerry is lovingly remembered by his wife, Jo Ann; sons, Jaye Allen Thieme of Indianapolis, Joey Jonathan Thieme of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Jason John Thieme of Davenport, Iowa. He is further survived by his siblings, Duaine Franklin Thieme (Barbara) of Redmond, Wash., Giles Alfred Thieme (Cathie) of Marshfield, and Valerie Ann Demos (Alan) of Bonn, Germany; and one uncle, Rudy Thieme of Jefferson.

He was preceded in death by parents, Harry and Louise, and many loved aunts and uncles.
