Robert G. Kearney

Robert Clyde Kearney, age 70, passed away at his home in Mishawaka on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Bob was born June 23, 1956, in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, to the late Robert and Nellie (Jeffers) Kearney. After earning his associate degree in college, Bob began working for the U.S. Postal Service, where he served his community for 28 years as a postal clerk before his retirement. On March 20, 2014, Bob married Terry Beldon in Iowa. They recently celebrated 12 years of marriage.

Terry survives, along with their daughter, Lalena Dillin, and two grandsons, Gage and Devin. Surviving as well are Bob’s siblings, Mary Meadows, Susan (Gerard) Muegerl, Thomas Kearney, and Michael (Kim) Kearney, along with his sister-in-law, Carla Kearney. He was preceded in death by his sister, Janice Johnson, and his brother, Patrick Kearney.

Bob was a hardworking, intelligent man who took pride in everything he did. He enjoyed working in his yard, tending to his flowers, and keeping everything neat and well-maintained. He had a strong interest in history and often spent time at the library learning about the past. Family was important to Bob, and from a young age, he helped care for his younger siblings while his mother worked. He remained close to his brothers and sisters throughout his life and valued the friendships he made over the years. Above all, Bob enjoyed the simple things in life, especially spending time at home with Terry and their dog, Buffy.

A private ceremony was held at Wells and Cruz Family Funeral Home in Mishawaka. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
