Dedication of the Annual Town Report

Within our community there are a number of residents who stick out as individuals who selflessly go above and beyond to help others and make our town a better place to live. Ron and BettyAnn (Moulton) Weeman, longtime Buxton residents, certainly have lived up to that description. Ron and Betty Ann volunteer tirelessly with the Buxton Food Co-op and make several trips a week to supermarkets to obtain items to replenish the Co-op shelves so those in need have a meal. Betty Ann is a Deacon at the Buxton Centre Baptist Church and teaches Sunday School. Ron is the assistant financial officer at the church. She and Ron both volunteer at the church making sure it is clean for upcoming services and events. They work together to prepare the meals for senior gatherings at the church, all doing this without expecting anything in return. They help maintain the lawns at Buxton Centre Baptist Church and cemeteries throughout the town.

Ron and Betty Ann Weeman

Ron and Betty Ann work together behind the scenes helping those in need and spreading cheer to those who have fallen on hard times. Together, they spend many of their days visiting the sick and those who are home bound, and often are seen bringing people to doctor appointments and running errands for folks who would have no other way to do so without their help. They are active supporters of the Buxton Toy Box and Operation Christmas Child. Betty Ann has worked in the cafeteria at Bonny Eagle High School and at USM and operates Betty’s Cake Service. Ronworked inmaintenance for USM in Portland for many years. Besides their passion for community service and helping those need, they together enjoy doing puzzles and spending time with their family. They have two daughters, Malena of Buxton and Melody of Georgia. Their efforts have helped the hungry, the elderly, and those just needing a helping hand or simple cheering up. It is with honor that this year’s Town Report be dedicated to Ron and Betty Ann Weeman for their outstanding service to the Town of Buxton.
