Stephen J. Jelinski

On April 22, 2025, our family lost a beloved brother and uncle, Stephen Jelinski, he was 61 years young. Stephen was the oldest son of eight children.

He will be missed by his siblings, Carla Densten (Harry), Jeanette Watson, James Jelinski, Jodi Fitting (Bill), and Brandi Fennimore (Tom); as well as 14 nieces and nephews.

Stephen joins his parents, Stephen and Jaqueline Jelinksi as well as his two siblings, Robert Jelinski and Deborah Smith in Heaven.

Stephen's hobbies included fishing, reading and crossword puzzles. He preferred to complete the crossword puzzle in pen because he enjoyed the challenge. However, he didn't use that pen just for puzzles, his sister Carla remembers one Memorial Day weekend he used red and blue ink to carve an American flag on her wall because he said he couldn't find one. Stephen was always silly in that way. His nonsense and kind heart will be missed.

Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home & Crematory and will be private.
