Weeter

Dennis E. Weeter, of Hilliards, passed away Wednesday, June 24, 2026, following an extended illness.

Born Dec. 25, 1943, in Bradford, Pa., Dennis was the son of the late Roy H. and Eva Courson Weeter. He grew up near Emlenton and graduated from Allegheny-Clarion Valley High School in 1961. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served until 1965. He remained a proud Marine throughout his life.

Dennis began his career with American Hardware Supply, which sparked a lifelong connection to the hardware business. Over the years, he built and operated Eau Claire Hardware and later retired from Slippery Rock Hardware.

Dennis enjoyed hunting on trips to Wyoming and Colorado and fishing on the Great Lakes, experiences that provided him with many stories to share back home. Later in life, he found pleasure in weekly crossword puzzle contests with local hardware patrons and reading. As his health limited his mobility, he enjoyed riding his side-by-side across the property and visiting friends and family. In recent years, he spent many hours “helping” his good friend, John Thompson, restore a Firebird for his son, Brice.

Dennis is survived by his wife, Milly Farren Weeter, whom he married Aug. 3, 1968. He is survived by his son, Brice (Keri) Weeter, of Milton, Ga.; and his daughter, Lanie Weeter, of Hilliards. He adored his “Grand Girls,” Charlotte, Victoria and Evelyn Weeter, all of Milton, Ga.

He is also survived by his brothers, Larry and Kevin Weeter, of Fort Worth, Texas, and Ronald (Sondra) Weeter, of Marietta, Ohio; his sister, Lorena Hoffman, of Mount Vernon, Ohio; numerous nieces and nephews, including a special nephew, Robin (Debra) Weeter; and many cousins, including Priscilla Nepher, whose family stories he always enjoyed. Dennis also cherished time spent with his close friends, Alan Fitzsimmons, Dennis Wiles and John Thompson.

A celebration of life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sept. 20, 2026, at the West Sunbury American Legion, in West Sunbury. Military honors will follow.
