Heidi Kearney, age 47, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at her home in Richfield, MN.

Born June 10, 1967 to Robert and Evelyn (Olson) Hersom in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Heidi Lu was a 1985 graduate of Cedar Rapids Washington High School. She had been looking forward to a 30th class reunion in July. The wife of Michael Kearney, Heidi was a remarkable lover of animals, rescuing several dogs and cats from difficult circumstances with the care and support of her husband. With a 20-year-old cat and three Black Labradors aged 17, 16 and 10, Heidi earned high praise from the family veterinarian who marveled at the longevity of Heidi’s pets — “I don’t know what she’s doing, but she’s doing something right.’’

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Heidi. I have many fun and happy memories of times back in high school and times we visited you in Minn.

Please know there are many here in CR that are shocked, saddened and send our thought and prayers to you all.
