Donald E.

Weaver Sr.

Donald E. Weaver Sr., age 76, of Bowerston, Ohio, went home to be with the Lord and his deceased family and friends Wednesday night, December 6, 2017 from his residence following a long illness.

He retired in 1992 as the Transportation Manager at Betsy Ross Foods (later Peter J. Schmidt Co.) in North Jackson, Ohio after 34 years of service.

He was born May 4, 1941 in Belpre, Ohio and was the son of the late Leo Creed Weaver Sr. and Margaret Alice Reeves Weaver. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a stillborn son, Lance A. Weaver; and a brother, Leo Creed Weaver, Jr.

Donald lived in Ohio most of his life. An accomplished hunter, he treasured the outdoors and had a strong affection for animals. He was an ardent Muskie fisherman at Leesville Lake. He was once a competitive roller skater and teacher at Springfield Roller Rink.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Jean Wilkerson Weaver, whom he married August 13, 1958; two daughters, Alice M. Weaver of Parkersburg, West Virginia and Mrs. Donna J. (Dean) Christy of Akron, Ohio; and two sons, Donald E. "Buck" (Valeria) Weaver II of Caldwell, Ohio and Cary M. (Brenda) Weaver of Bonita Springs, Florida; a sister, Shirley Ann Byers of Cross Lanes, West Virginia, eight grandchildren and 17 great-grand

children which includes three sets of twins.

A private family viewing followed by a brief memorial service will be observed on Saturday, December 9, 2017 in the Baxter-Gardner Funeral Home at Sherrodsville. He will be laid to rest in the Hillside Memorial Park, at Akron.

Don was a great boss at Betsy Ross aka Peter J Schmidt. He really had his hands full with the rowdy bunch of jokesters that worked in the transportation department. Hearing of his passing was as sad as the day he retired. Although we didn't stay in touch, he was thought of often, I will miss my friend.- Bob Frymyer Uniontown Ohio
