Agnes Mary (Kamenca) Weikart, 91, passed away the early evening of Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at Burton Health Care Center, Burton, Ohio. She was born September 5, 1932, on Ophelia Avenue in Newton Falls, Trumbull County, Ohio. She was the daughter of John and Mary (Lajcak) Kamenca, who had immigrated from Czechoslovakia. The family relocated to Cleveland, Ohio when she was a young girl for her father’s work in the Steel Mills. At only 8 years of age, Agnes lost her mother suddenly. This was a devastating event in her life.

Agnes excelled in school and was valedictorian at Thomas Jefferson Junior High and an honor student at Lincoln High School. She secured office employment at Fulton and Goss in downtown Cleveland through her dear friend Ann. This was a dream job for her, but she eventually left, once married, making the sacrifice to raise her two children.

She married Fred Weikart on February 23, 1957, and settled in Burton. As a young family, there were many camping trips, especially to the KOA Campground in Geneva. In the 1970’s, Agnes and Fred owned and operated The Switching Post Restaurant in Windsor, Ohio. The whole family worked there, and many memories were made. She loved to entertain at her home and for several years Pig Roasts were held which were memorable!

Agnes loved the history of fashion and traveled with a group from Kent State in Burton to Paris. Agnes and Fred went to many places. This included an eight country European Trip, Canada, Aruba, and many trips in the states.

Agnes was a member of St. Lucy Church in Middlefield. She enjoyed The Burton Library immensely and was an avid reader her whole life. In her later years, besides reading, her joy was watching her grandchildren grow up and become successful adults and parents.

Agnes is survived by her husband of 66 years, Fred; A daughter, Andrea Hampton and her husband Douglas of Cortland; A son, Eric Weikart and his wife Kim of Burton; Four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, John Jr., Joseph, and Michael as well as a baby sister, Margaret, who passed at the age of one month.
