January 3, 1947 — November 20, 2021
Jerome (Jerry) Joseph Markham died at his sister and brother-in-law’s home on Saturday, November 20, 2021, of esophageal cancer. Jerry was born in Menomonie, WI on January 3, 1947, to Joseph Alva Markham and Eileen (Stockman) Markham.

He moved to the Buttermilk Coulee, rural Elmwood, in 2016, in his sister’s care, and was clean and sober for nearly 6 years. While there, he enjoyed meals and cards at the Eau Galle Civic Center, fishing and camping; and listening to Rock’n’roll music.

Special thanks to the many people who helped Jerome throughout his lifetime, Adoray Hospice (especially his nurse, Hayley), as well as “friends of Bill W.”
