Not only was Inga a diligent employee, but she played as hard as she worked. She was low key while participating in games and sports swimming and soccer Inga was a fierce competitor…. she played to win!! She was a contributing member of a championship bowling league.

Inga also enjoyed Top Golf and her beloved Washington Redskins. She was an avid reader and served as President of the Wall Family Reunion. Inga was the embodiment of love, joy and care for others. Her laughter was infectious.

I remember so many precious moments, but the one that sticks out the most was a surprise visit you made to Dad's house. I had just completed a 10hour shift and had a fever, but the moment I saw you and we began to talk, and share the laughter we always shared, the kind of laughter where breathing and talking were seemed impossible,my tiredness evaporated and the only thing that matter was I had my sister with me. I love you Inga with my whole heart and I will miss you beyond measure. To all her family and friends please know my heart grieves for you too, we lost someone so special. Love and light to you.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Inga!! My deepest condolences to the entire family. Although I am still in shock, Inga I can recall those fun times we used to have on Sunday afternoons hanging as children at your place in 4th Ward. We enjoyed our mother's chatting away in the living room while we could walk around and play outside!! You introduced us to frozen fruit pops!!! Those fun family moments on the 4th of July will be cherished forever; just as your smiling friendly face and caring personality! Now take your rest and be free!! Love you, Mignon

I had the pleasure of having Inga as my go to IT person while working with XPO People Services. I am deeply saddened about her loss but I know that her kind spirit now sits in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Inga was just one of those "cool" people all around. I'll never forget her willingness to help and our short but unforgettable conversations while passing by one another during breaks and lunches. I send my heartfelt condolences to the immediate family, friends & loved ones of Inga. She will be truly missed. John 14:27 - Breanna Anderson

To the family of Inga Kearney - As one of the supervisors in People Services with XPO, I worked with Inga on a regular basis with the many technical issues that our Team often experienced over time. Inga was thorough, dedicated and would work with an individual no matter how long it took to assess and try to resolve their issues. Such a constant professional!!! Inga was a great Team player and often interacted with several members of my Team. She was always thinking Safety and Security and sharing safeguarding best practices with our Team. Inga ordered lunch with our Team, at least once a week before the Pandemic and she had a love of various types of cuisine, but I do recall her ordering barbecue and chicken wings very often. Inga was a great person and she will truly be missed on our Team, in her Department, within our Site and in our Company. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping that GOD will provide your family with the strength and comfort needed to go through this season in your lives stronger, joyful and always remembering the wonderful times you had with Inga. I also pray for peace to rest on each of you during your time of bereavement as well. Memories never end and Inga will never be forgotten. Continue to reminisce and remember the special memories that you all shared with her and my prayer is that this will give you the peace, comfort and closure needed to enrich your lives. Be well and Take care, Family, Inga rest in GOD's perfect peace. Beverly Hawkins HR Supervisor

Inga was truly a cherished and wonderful person at XPO. I heard so many good things about her work and was thrilled to be able to spend time with her while visiting her office. I want her family to know that although you may not have seen the part of Inga's life when she came to work, she was highly thought of, did an outstanding job and was loved here. Our heart aches with her gone, but she lives on in spirit and our memories. Pat Petersen Senior Vice President, Technology Infrastructure

At XPO, where Inga was working in IT supporting our People Services teams with Technology needs, Inga was always volunteering and involved with other activities such as our Employee Engagement team which planned Team picnics, Holiday drives, and celebrations. She was always upbeat and smiling. Her desk was near mine and I know she loved music. Lately, during the pandemic, we did not have many people in the office and Inga could be heard with her ear buds on just singing away. You could tell the music moved her, and that she did her work diligently while also enjoying life with a full heart. I will miss hearing her enjoy the music. I am glad that we were able to recognize her at XPO for her service to our country this most recent Veterans Day. Rest in Peace Inga. We will remember your spirit. Our best wishes, and condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones...Especially her beloved nephews Jaylen and Xavier. John Perron - HR Ops Manager - XPO Logistics - People Services

My first week at XPO was in Atlanta. She was the first EUC person and second person at XPO that I met. She was GREAT and we had some good laughs as she helped me get my credentials and get all set up. I asked her what her favorite treats were (so I could surprise and thank her for her help) and she said "anything SWEET!". So, I brought in, the next day, cookies and other treats. She turned around and shared it without even hesitating. She was such a positive person and was always open and willing to share, help and go the extra mile... Truly what having work family is about.

My heartfelt condolences to all of you in the Kearney family. Inga was an amazing, fun, happy, and funny teammate to work with at XPO. I started two years ago and she was one of the first people I spoke to regarding an issue on my first day. She was amazingly kind, upbeat, funny and supportive. Since that day she and I worked on different things together and she always made me smile, even when she would contact me via e-mail or chat- I would grin ear to ear and say "Hi Inga!" even if she couldn't see or hear me. That is the impression she made on me in our short time working together. She will be so deeply missed by all of us at XPO whose lives she touched with her knowledge, kindness, and humor. May God bless her soul and all of you in her family.
