Carol Kyanka

Beloved Mimi. Superhero mom. Loving wife.

She is survived by her husband, Richard, daughter, Jessica, son-in-law, Josh, and grandchildren, Asher, Charli, Adrian, Lauren, Jaylen, Sloane. Loving mother to Richard “Rich” Kyanka (of blessed memory).  Carol was a strong, Italian woman who touched every person’s life. She was loving, generous, and strong-willed: sky-diving solo on her 40th birthday, getting her law degree and passing the Bar at 60, and founding the Kansas City Dental Implant Society. Carol was known for her big heart, generous spirit, and of course her cooking and baking. She was the backbone of our family and will be missed more than words can express.
