Caroline Teasley Obituary
OLEAN - Caroline M. Abbott Teasley, of Olean, passed away Sunday (Sept. 7, 2025) at Buffalo General Hospital, after a short illness, with her loving family by her side.
Caroline was born Nov. 18, 1965, in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, the daughter of Bernard and Corinne Hebert Ahearn. On March 4, 2010, in Louisville, Ky., she married Charles Teasley, who survives.
She graduated from Olean High School in 1983 and later earned her registered nursing degree from Jamestown Community College in 1995.
She worked as a psychiatric nurse in Olean and Buffalo, and Louisville, where her compassion and heart for helping others touched countless lives.
Caroline had a gift for making others feel special. She loved surprising family and friends with thoughtful gifts. She delighted in celebrating the holidays, when her generous spirit truly shined, and always made sure everyone felt included and loved.
Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, she adored all seven. Cheering on their accomplishments and celebrating them. She was endlessly proud of them and loved to brag about each one.
Caroline also enjoyed walking her dog, Lucy, and finding joy in the little things, whether it was a new thrift shop find, snuggling up watching movies or a day trip with family.
Caroline is survived by two children, Margaret (Joseph) Tingley and Samantha (Cody) Giberson; her beloved grandchildren, Owen, Evan, Anna, Elena and Ava Tingley, Olivia and Ian Giberson; her siblings, Kelly Paoletto of Pierre Part, La., John Ahearn of Olean, Christine Ahearn of Allegany and Elizabeth (Sean) Brooking of Salem, Mass.; and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, Bernard and Corinne; and a sister, Coleen Ahearn Brophy, on Nov. 22, 2009.
A celebration of Caroline's life will be held at a later date.
Arrangements are under the direction of Guenther Funeral Home, Inc., 1303 E. State St., Olean.

My deepest sympathy to all of Caroline´s family. Not everyone is lucky enough to have close friends to lean on during hard times, Caroline showed up when it mattered most for me. It was when my sister was dying and I needed help, Caroline without judgment offered support without hesitation. She shared silence when words weren´t needed. She had a way of lifting you up when the world knocked you down. As the younger sister of my best friend Kelly, we shared many happy times and her family always made me feel like a part of theirs. Losing Caroline leaves an ache, but her spirit, love and friendship leaves us a gift we will carry forever. God bless.
