Billy Ray Weaver

January 22, 2026

Billy Ray Weaver, age 82, of Oneonta, passed from

this life on Jan. 10, surrounded by those who loved

him.

Billy Ray was born March 8, 1943, in Susan

Moore, and spent his life as a master rock mason,

showcasing his craftsmanship in beautiful pathways,

impressive fireplaces, and sturdy walls across the

South - including the chapel at Oak Hill Cemetery.

He loved Alabama football (unless they were losing,

at which time the TV was abruptly turned off), Elvis

music, and true home cooking. He was as stubborn

and strong as an ox and was never far from an in-

credible prank or a good joke.

He was preceded in death by his parents Ray D.

Weaver and Fayenell Fowler Weaver, and his broth-

ers Charles Weaver and Arnell Weaver (Sue Weaver).

He is survived by his beloved wife, Sandra

Weaver; his daughters Kellie Leigh Weaver and Lynn

Bearden Hitt (Mark Hitt). Billy was a proud grand-

father to Jennifer Hitt Brunson (Scott Brunson) and

Lauren E. Hitt; and a cherished great-grandfather to

Baylor Brunson and Camryn Brunson, who brought

him great joy. He is also survived by a host of nieces

and nephews.

Billy Ray will be laid to rest at Oak Hill Ceme-

tery, where his life will be honored and his memory

cherished.
