Teresa Michelle Aho

Teresa Michelle Aho BSN, RN, OCN, CMSRN, BMTCN, CRNI, passed away at home in Gilbert, Arizona on October 29, 2026 after a 19-month battle with glioblastoma. Her family and pets were at her side.

Teresa was born on April 18, 1968 to Mike and Darlene Piscopo. She attended Menominee High School and graduated in 1986. Teresa attended Gogebic Community College in Ironwood, Michigan and received her first associates degree in 1988.

In August of 1990, Teresa was united in marriage to Dan Aho.

While Teresa and Dan raised their two boys, Teresa went back to college for nursing at North West Technical College and began her calling as a registered nurse in 1998. Teresa’s true passion was oncology nursing, and she was proud of her many certifications and eventually earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Teresa prided herself on being a patient advocate, having a warm bedside manner, and a wonderful sense of humor.

Teresa loved her pets Lily and Bailey but was especially fond of her dearly departed St. Bernard (Steve French).

Teresa enjoyed vacations, whether a simple weekend trip to Rocky Point, Mexico, or a thought-out vacation to her favorite place on earth, Italy. She loved them all and made friends everywhere.

Teresa was an avid Arizona Cardinals fan. She was a season ticket holder for 18 years and she was proud to tell everyone she got to stand on the field... several times.

Teresa is survived by her beloved husband, Dan, cherished sons, Dan Jr and Drew, and the light of her life granddaughter, Dancela. Teresa is further survived by her brother, Mike (Sheila) Piscopo III, sister-in-law, Melissa (Paul Oberlin) Aho, niece, Amy Piscopo, and nephew, Mikey Piscopo, as well as other aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Teresa was preceded in death by her mother, Darlene Isaacson, grandfather Edward Kons, father-in-law David Aho, and mother-in-law, Nancy Aho, and uncle Robert Kons SR.

A Funeral Service will be held Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 2:00 pm at Whitney & Murphy Bueler Mortuary, 14 W. Hulet Drive, Chandler, AZ 85225. A reception to immediately follow.
