Racine – Charlotte T. (nee: Czuper) Bialecki, 95, passed away peacefully at Wisconsin Veterans Home – Boland Hall in Union Grove on Monday, February 16, 2009. A lifetime resident, Charlotte was born in Racine on June 7, 1913 to the late Joseph and Josephine (nee: Nowikowska) Czuper. She attended St. Stanislaus Grade School “Class of 1928” and graduated from St. Catherine’s High School in 1932. On October 18, 1947 in St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, she was united in marriage with Stanley F. Bialecki, who preceded her in death on November 23, 2007. Years ago, Charlotte was employed by Webster Electric, S.S. Kresge Dime Store and Motor Specialty. However, her favorite job and first priority in life was being a full-time wife and mother, a vocation she completely excelled at. With a profound Catholic faith, she had been a member of St. Stanislaus and Holy Trinity Parishes. In recent years, she was a member of St. Lucy Catholic Church. Charlotte enjoyed cooking, baking, canning, doing special things for her family, taking day trips to places around Wisconsin and Illinois, and taking an occasional trip to the casino. Along with her husband, she enjoyed planting and cultivating their garden when they lived on Blaine Avenue. Visits from Toby, the Welsh Terrier, were also always enjoyable. All in all, Charlotte enjoyed life. She will be greatly missed, especially by her daughter, Kathleen. Surviving are her son, Paul (Sally) Bialecki of Madison; daughter, Kathleen Bialecki of Racine; sisters-in-law, Adella Czuper and Irene Rygasewicz, both of Racine; nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends. In addition to her parents and husband, Charlotte was preceded in death by her brothers, Joseph, Stanley, John and Vincent Czuper; sister, Harriet Johnson; brothers-in-law, Donald Schreiber, Clayton Lee, Edward Johnson, Dominic Bialecki and Richard Rygasewicz; and sisters-in-law, Ann Czuper and Lorraine Bialecki. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, February 20, 2009 at 10 am in St. Lucy Catholic Church, 3101 Drexel Ave., with Rev. Mark R. Jones officiating. Interment will follow in Holy Cross Cemetery, Hwy 32. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Thursday from 5-7 pm and in the church on Friday from 9-10 am. The family would like to thank the staff on 2 West at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at Union Grove – Boland Hall, for their compassionate care of Charlotte, especially Deanna and Sue.

There was such a vacancy in chapel for Catholic Mass today here @ the Home. Losing Charlotte has left a void that can’t be filled by any other.
Kathleen, we miss you, too. When you’re ready to come visit, we’d love to see you. Thank you for you.

A message for Kathleen.
I was sorry to read of yur dear Mom’s passing. We were friends for a long time. Your poor Mom had to put up with me by sharing her hospital room.
Our private joke was that we had a nice cold beer smuggled into our room. I actually think it was more than once. Everytime we met each other, we chuckled about that nice cold beer.
I wish I was feeling better, so I could celebrate Charlotte’s
Mass with all of you.
She was a joy.
When I see you this summer, I will give you a hug.
