Sara A. Weaver 1928-2025

Sara was born April 1, 1928, near Columbiana, to Edwin and Lena Wenger Weaver.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Paul, David and Howard; her sisters, Alma, Edith and Mary Ellen; and eight nieces and nephews.

Left to treasure our many memories of Sara are a sister, Anna Katherine Reesor (Ontario), 31 nieces and nephews, many great-nieces and -nephews, and great-great-nieces and -nephews.

Her ability to call us by our first and middle names was a testament to her memory and her love for family. “Aunt Sara” colored so many of our childhood memories. When hurt, we just called Aunt Sara – she would know what to do.

She enjoyed traveling and visited family scattered over the globe, as she had the opportunity.

A viewing will be held 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025, at Mount Joy Mennonite Church, 549 Chestnut St., Leetonia.

Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, at Mount Joy Church.

The family wants to thank Eva and Joy Weaver for opening their home and graciously caring for Aunt Sara in the last weeks of her life. They also appreciated the care and support from the Hospice team.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Warrick-Kummer-Rettig Funeral Home, Columbiana. Sign the online register and send condolences at www.familycareservices.com.
