South Bloomfield Carol Ann Teeters, 82, of South Bloomfield, OH passed away at home surrounded
by her loving family on Monday, May 20, 2024. She was born on November 9,
1941 in Fremont, OH to the late Franklin Lee and Cleo Ivy (Hill) Bowman. She
grew up on the Near East Side of Columbus where she attended Columbus Public
Schools. As a child she would walk to the Southern Theater and would enjoy
watching the latest Elvis Presley movie without screaming, crying or fainting the
way many of her fellow teenyboppers did. One fateful day, Carol was drinking a
Coke in the bar where her mother worked when a guy who was "different than the
other guys" walked in and asked her out. They went out, fell in love, got married,
and started making babies - not necessarily in that order. Carol worked a few part
time jobs over the years but her full-time and favorite jobs were being a mother
and a wife. Before she lost her eyesight, she was an avid reader and thoroughly
enjoyed reading romance novels. She was a member of South Bloomfield United
Methodist Church where she passed out programs because it allowed her to share
smiles, handshakes, or hugs with her fellow parishioners. Carol loved cats,
listening to music, and watching her television shows - true crime, "Reba", and,
her favorite, "The Golden Girls." All of her life Carol met adversity with grace and
humility. Her strength and resilience were, and will continue to be, an inspiration
to her children.
Besides her parents, Carol is preceded in death by husband of 62 years Charles R.
Teeters Sr. in February 2023; son Franklin Patrick Teeters; brother William
Bowman; sister Barbara Wahlenmaier; grandson Shawn Edwards; fur Grandbaby
Kitties Chloe & Susie.
Carol is survived by children Jannette (Ron) Fausnaugh, Pam (Eric) Smith, Charles
"Ron" (Deborah) Teeters, Jr., Billy (Eunice Bowen) Teeters, Laura Teeters, and
Joe Teeters; grandchildren Ronald (Shannon) Fausnaugh, Adam (Anne)
Fausnaugh, Spencer Teeters, Morgan Teeters (Luke Carpenter), Megan (Kyle)
Mason, Katie (Ricky) Shutts, Madison Dixon (Tyler Brumfield); great-
