Dennis Marton Obituary

Dennis Andrew "Magilla" Marton, 76, of Ellsworth, passed away in his residence Wednesday, December 31, 2025. He was born March 9, 1949, in North Charleroi, the son of the late John Marton and Ella Alger Wyratt Marton. Dennis attended Canon-McMillan High School and went on to build a career in auto body repair, training and working as a skilled technician. He was an artist at heart; he loved to draw, play guitar and listen to music (from old school rock 'n roll to do-wop), and play video games with his grandkids. Dennis was a member of North Buffalo Presbyterian Church. On June 15, 1973, Dennis married his sweetheart, Debra Bernardi, who sadly passed away April 9, 1996. He is survived by their sons, John D. (Debbie) Marton, and Christopher A. (Kathy) Marton; their grandchildren, Caitlin (CJ) Duarte, Dylan Marton, Dominic Marton, Owen Marton, Baylie Marton, and Kinsley Marton; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his wife and parents, Dennis was preceded in death by sisters, Sally Cook and Kathy Johnson. Friends and family will be received from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, January 9, in William G. Neal Funeral Homes, 925 Allison Avenue, Washington, where a service will follow visitation. Interment will take place at North Buffalo Cemetery.

Mo and I had some great times in our younger days. I remember us going to the state wrestling tournament in Harrisburg and could not find a hotel room. We ended up sleeping at the Harrisburg fire hall. What a great guy he was.
