Village Congratulations to 2024 Citizen of the Year Jerry Vianello!

By Allison Uhrig and Suzy Weinland

Jerry Vianello is one of those residents you naturally equate with pretty much everything Mariemont. You can’t miss him enjoying a concession stand popcorn while sitting next to – or helping in - the press box at every high school football game. Cheering on and sideline coaching his grandkids from the front row at school district basketball games. Supporting swimmers and volunteering at swim meets, as well as enjoying a nice, sunny day at the pool with his wife, Suzi. Attending Village council meetings, ceremonies, and annual events. And jumping in wherever Mariemont needs him.

On May 27, 2024, at the Mariemont Memorial Day parade and ceremony, Vianello was awarded the 2024 Outstanding Citizen of the Year in recognition of his nearly five decades of volunteer work in the community.

Just a few of his many notable accomplishments include volunteering in the renovation of the pool and the installation of the “tot lot.” He served on the Village’s Planning Commission for years. He also has been heavily involved with Mariemont schools and youth sports. Mr. Vianello was the head official/starter for the swim team for many years we well as the diving coach for MHS through the 1980s. As a proud veteran, he has frequently participated in the Veteran’s Day services at the schools and in the Village’s Memorial Day parades since the 1970s.

Congratulations, Jerry Vianello!
