Tina Weller
A Legacy of Service
In June 2025, the Hinsdale Junior Women’s Club honored Tina Weller with its Legacy Award at the inaugural Ladies Who Lead luncheon. The award recognizes women who demonstrate exceptional leadership, influence, and dedication to community service—qualities that have long defined Weller’s work both inside and outside the organization.
A member and past leader of HJWC, Weller has played an active role in helping the club advance its mission of volunteerism, philanthropy, and connection. Through fundraising events, grant committees, and mentoring newer members, she has championed the club’s commitment to empowering women and supporting local nonprofits. Her focus has always been on building lasting partnerships that extend HJWC’s reach and amplify its impact throughout the western suburbs.
“Tina Weller… leads with grace, gives with purpose, and embodies the mission of HJWC in everything she does.”

Beyond the club, Weller is a familiar face across Hinsdale’s philanthropic landscape. She has supported events including the Hinsdale Historical Society’s Kitchen Walk, Infant Welfare’s Tablescapes, and the Service Club of Chicago’s annual benefit programs. Her involvement often bridges multiple causes—whether raising funds for cancer support services through Wellness House or helping to deliver care and comfort through organizations like Simply From The Heart and the Chicago Lighthouse.
In 2021, Weller launched Fumée Claire, a line of candles and body products inspired by her passion for wellness and giving back. The company’s products are handmade with plant-based ingredients and designed with sustainability in mind, from clean-burning wax to biodegradable packaging. Staying true to her values, she built charitable giving into the company’s foundation, donating a portion of proceeds to nonprofits supporting health, education, and the arts.
Alongside these efforts, Weller also manages the Weller Dental office with her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Weller, serving as office and public relations manager and guiding the practice’s charitable outreach.
The Legacy Award is a fitting acknowledgment of Weller’s years of service and her ability to bring others together for a greater purpose. Her quiet leadership, creativity, and generosity continue to reflect the best of what HJWC represents—a reminder that community thrives when people choose to give not just their time, but their hearts.
