Carolyn G. Dore
December 4, 1935 – May 3, 2025

Carolyn “Carol” G. Dore, 89, of Leawood, Kansas, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Villa St. Francis Catholic Care Center.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Carol built a life centered on family, faith, and community. On December 4, 1959, she married the love of her life, Richard “Dick” Dore, in Kansas City. Together, they shared a devoted partnership and many happy years. Carol worked at Avila University before her retirement, where she was a valued colleague and friend.

A lifelong animal lover, Carol always had a pet by her side. She found great joy in traveling and treasured every moment spent with her two granddaughters, Breanna and Emily, who brought light and laughter into her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved husband, Dick. Carol is survived by her son Patrick Dore and his wife Christy, and by her cherished granddaughters, Breanna and Emily Dore.

Carol’s legacy of love, kindness, and quiet strength will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

    Dear Pat and family I’m so sorry and sorry I wasn’t in town to see her before she died. We were close neighbors for many years and I watched you grow up for about 45 years Have peace to know your mom and Dad are back together. I’m sure they are watching over you and your family I am thankful that less than a month ago we had a long phone conversation. Bless you and your family hugs.
