Carla Bribiesca Lasater, 48, loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, was joyously welcomed into Heaven on Thursday, December 5, 2019. Born in Hutchinson, Kansas, Carla spent most of her life in Wichita where she played soccer at South High School and graduated from Friends University.

She devoted her time teaching Sunday School, volunteering at church and her children’s schools, and was a member of Bible Study Fellowship. Carla enjoyed photography, running, watching her children participate in various sporting activities, and dancing to music in the mornings while making her family pancakes. With a passion for helping others, Carla was rarely seen without a smile that would light up the room. Her generous and kind heart will be missed by all who were blessed to know her. Survived by her husband, Thomas J. Lasater; parents, Bobby and Vivian Bribiesca; sons, John, Charles, Henry Lasater, and Ronnie Kilmer; daughter, Courtleigh Kilmer (Tony Suellentrop); grandchild, Lucas Suellentrop; sisters, Camille (Glenn) Nyberg and Candace Bribiesca (Jason Karageorge) of San Francisco; and nephew and niece, Ajay and Norah Karageorge. Visitation is Thursday, December 12 from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm at Downing & Lahey East Mortuary. Funeral Service is Friday, December 13, 2019, 10:00 am at Eastminster Presbyterian Church.

I am greatly saddened by the news this morning of Carla’s death. When I joined Powell, Brewer & Reddick, Carla’s office was across the hall from mine. She helped and assisted me in numerous ways with my transition to private practice. In all she did she was always friendly, bright, cheerful and supportive as she worked on billings or computer problems. We were greatly blessed to have her working alongside of us. I know that she will be missed. Jim Rupper
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
