Carol E. Blaeser
Date of Passing:
Blaeser, Carol E. (McLane), 71, of Old Forge Road, Barrington, died peacefully on November 8, 2021, surrounded by her loving family at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center, Providence. She was the beloved wife of Joseph W. Blaeser III.
Born in Providence, a daughter of the late Joseph W. and Edna (Denoncour) McLane, she was a lifelong resident of Barrington.
Carol was a graduate of Barrington High School Class of 1968. She went on to receive her Bachelor’s Degree from URI Class of 1972 and a Master’s Degree from RIC. Member of the National Education Association, she was a dedicated teacher for 28 years, before retiring in 2010. She was a beloved elementary teacher at Nayatt School in Barrington for most of her career, making a difference at the school and having a lasting impact on her students. She lived her life with the utmost dignity, humility, and honesty, and was forever grateful for the life she lived.
Carol was very active and enjoyed many activities including running, walking, skiing and biking and she was an avid reader in her spare time. Dedicated to health and fitness her entire life, she completed the Rhode Island Marathon in 1983 and always prioritized wellness. As much as she enjoyed all of her activities, she loved nothing more than being her family and being a Mother and Grandmother. After retiring, she was able to spend her final years focusing on the things she loved most, devoting her time to her children and grandchildren.
Besides her husband of forty-eight years, she is survived by a son, Joseph W. Blaeser IV of Warren; a daughter, Katie B. Abbott and her son-in-law Wallace Abbott of Barrington and her two grandchildren, Annabelle M. Abbott and Allison C. Abbott; a brother, Gary M. McLane and his wife Patty of Barrington; a sister, Ann M. Horton and her husband Cliff of Gloucester, and several nieces and nephews.

We were so shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved Wife and Mom. Our hearts go out to all of you during this incredibly difficult time. May you be comforted by your many treasured memories, and know that she will remain etched in your hearts forever…..With Our Deepest Sympathy ox
I remember Carol from my high school days as the most beautiful girl in school. I once told her that and she tipped her head and smiled shyly. A kind gentle spirit inside and out who took time to talk to an underclassman. Later, she taught both my children, a favorite of theirs. She touched our world in a very special way. We will always smile when we think of Carol. Wishing you peace.
I was so stunned and saddened to learn of Carol’s death. I have many fond memories of all the miles we ran together back in the late 70’s and 80’s. The characteristic I remember most is that Carol was relentlessly positive and never failed to see the best in everyone. Pat and I are so sorry for your loss.
Dear Joe, Katie and Joey:

Carol was the consummate lady and true professional. Her smiling face, kindness, and genuineness will be remembered always.

Dear Joe and family,
Carole and I were best friends throughout our years at BHS and I am so very, very sorry to hear about her passing. We shared each others joys and sorrows through all four years of high school, and I cherished her friendship. I still remember when she finally made the varsity cheerleading team. What a great day that was. She was so excited and proud. She was the best! We’ve kept in touch all these many years and although we’ve been on opposite coasts, I have always felt our bond. My heart goes out to you and your family, Joe. She was a very special person and I will miss her deeply.
