In Loving Memory of Pamela Turner Kuefler

March 19, 1969 - July 22, 2025

Pamela Turner Kuefler, 56, passed away suddenly on July 22, 2025, at her home in Brooksville, Florida.

Born on March 19, 1969, in Denver, Colorado, Pam was raised in the loving communities of Burnsville and Eagan, Minnesota-where her vibrant spirit and unforgettable personality began to shine. She worked in financial aid at Rasmussen College and was a longtime bartender and manager at the Fort Snelling Club in St. Paul, MN, where her magnetic disposition made her a beloved presence to all who walked through the door.

The water was her oasis and she achieved her dream of living near the ocean for the last eight years of her life. She had a love for animals and spent years being a foster parent for dogs and helping them find a home.

She was the youngest daughter of James Sr. and Vivian Turner and the beloved sister of James Jr. (Michelle), Cindra Turner Nicolay (Don) and Robert Turner. She was preceded in death by her son Devon and her brother William.

Pam was a devoted and loving mother and is survived by her children Caleigh, Trey (Mariah), Thomas "T.J.," Derek (Andrea); her grandchildren Jacob, Kit, Madison, Brayden, and Harper; her furry companion Lucy; nieces and nephews Jessica, Melissa, James III, and William; and her parents, siblings, and significant other Mike Iverson. All of whom she fiercely and wholeheartedly loved, and her connection with each of them was a cherished part of her life.

Her love extended far beyond blood. Her decades long best friend Rita Dodge was like a sister, and a small group of close friends became like family.

Pamela was known for her quick wit, infectious laugh, and the way she brought warmth and joy into the lives of everyone she met. She had a special talent for lifting spirits, bringing people together, and offering comfort just when it was needed most. Her lively personality left a lasting impression wherever she went.

A celebration of Pam's life will be held on September 13, 2025 from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM at the American Legion Post 1776 in Apple Valley. The family invites guests to wear bright colors as a tribute to her bold and beautiful spirit.

Pamela Rene Turner Kuefler will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love she gave, the laughter she sparked, and the light she brought into the world.
