Teresa Lynn Carnahan

Teresa was a daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was funny, intelligent, feisty, rebellious, and incredibly stubborn. She had a larger-than-life personality and rarely hesitated to say or do things most people only thought about.

Teresa is survived by her children, David Gage Taylor, Aubree Pavlin, Ashton Pavlin, and Aidan Leonard; her four grandchildren including Vinent, Liliana, and Adrian; her sisters Tanya (Nathan) Osborne and Christine (Daniel) Poznanski; and her nieces, Taylor (Paul), Kalyn, Aryanna, Tia (Derek), and Madison. She also leaves behind extended family and friends who loved and will continue to carry her memory with them.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia Mitchell; her beloved Grandma Bird; and her Grandpa Mitchell.

There is comfort in knowing that Teresa's final days were peaceful and that she was surrounded by compassion, dignity, and unconditional love. She was reminded that she was loved, that she was not alone, and that she could finally rest.

May she know nothing but peace.

Teresa will be cremated. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those wishing to honor Teresa keep her children and grandchildren in their prayers and consider making a donation to a local animal shelter in her memory.
