Kyle Yeary Bellinger

Kyle Yeary Bellinger’s earthly suffering ended in the early morning hours of July 26, 2021. Prior to her health declining, she lived a full life loving her family and friends.

Kyle was born in Dayton, Ohio to the late Robert and Sara Yeary on November 17, 1952. After her father’s death when she was 3, she moved with her mother and siblings to Warner Robins, Georgia. She attended Northside High School and made many friends along the way.

She met the love of her life at Middle Georgia College in Cochran, Georgia. Kyle loved to tell her daughters that when she spotted Joey Bellinger in English class, it was love at first sight. She married Joey on January 13, 1973. Their oldest daughter Kelly followed later in the year. Sara would be born seven years later, an unexpected surprise for the family. The Bellinger house was filled with love, laughter, and closeness. This family of four keenly feels the loss of their matriarch.

Kyle followed in the footsteps of her mother by working her way up at Robins Air Force Base until she retired as an Item Manager. She was a joyful presence around the office and she always had a joke at the ready for her coworkers whom she loved like family. Kyle was well-known for her warm smile and her ability to make everyone she met feel welcome. She worked hard for her family and her children wanted for nothing.

Her favorite people called her “Nana”. She was quick to tell anyone who would listen that her grandchildren were her whole heart. She reveled in their accomplishments--nothing was too small for this Nana to brag about. Reese, Aaron, Avery, and Zoe meant absolutely everything to her and she was happiest when her family was gathered around her dinner table. Kyle loved nothing more than laughing with her family.

In addition to her parents, Kyle is preceded in death by her brother, Bruce Yeary; and her sister, Kathi Sprouse.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Joseph Bellinger; daughters Kelly Mallory (Shannon) and Sara Rylander (Mike); and four grandchildren: Reese Mallory, Aaron Mallory, Avery Rylander, and Zoe Rylander.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 7, 2021, in the chapel of McCullough Funeral Home with visitation one hour prior to the service. Kyle will be privately laid to rest in Magnolia Park Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that all memorial donations be made to Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue in Kennesaw, Georgia. (mostlymutts.org)
