Robert K. “Bob” Mayberry was born on March 22, 1940 in Council Bluffs, Iowa to Lucius Raymond Mayberry & Ferril (Lindgren) Mayberry.

Bob’s family moved across the Missouri River to Omaha Nebraska.  He was the youngest of 4 children, attended school and met his future wife, Jeneane Welling.  Bob and Jeneane were married in September 1959 and started their family in Omaha.  In October 1972, they moved with their 3 young daughters to a small hobby farm East of Motley, Minnesota which they stated countless times, “was the best decision they ever made.”

He took after his father, working the majority of his adult life in sales all the while finagling as much hunting and fishing as he could in his spare time.  Fishing was his all-time favorite hobby.

Bob is survived by his daughters: Kelly (Patrick) Bienusa of Duluth and Dana Fischer of Motley; sister: Marilyn Petrik of Castle Pines Colorado; 9 grandchildren: Corey Gibson, Heather Campbell, Jessie Griffith, Jordan Mayberry, Beth Griffith, Becky Griffith, Taylor Bienusa, Tanner Fischer and Madison Fischer and 2 great grandsons: Gabe Gibson and Aiden Bounds; as well as many nieces, nephews and special friends. He was preceded in death by his parents: Lucius and Ferril; step mother: Louise Mayberry; 2 sisters: Betty and Janice; his beautiful wife of 54 years: Jeneane; and 2 children: daughter: Kimberly Griffith and son: Randy Mayberry.  Arrangements have been entrusted to the Brenny Family Funeral Chapel of Staples.  www.brenny.com
